I have a similar thought, I don't how that memory consumption increase (a
constant? a factor? probably both...)

but if the program use an absurd amount of memory even in CPython then PyPy
will be able to catchup based on comment #1 of a PyPy core dev in
http://tech.oyster.com/save-ram-with-python-slots/ see also
http://pypy.readthedocs.org/en/latest/interpreter-optimizations.html#dictionary-optimizations

Still it requires more analysis. When does PyPy trigger the optimization?
