In the right circumstances, using PyPy can give you a nice performance boost.
I don't know if Loris’s use case really fits PyPy, which helps operations that are computationally expensive – I could imagine that the major Loris bottlenecks are more often I/O-related, when moving images around. Still, might be worth a look.
Adding Python 3 compatibility in #324 will need some work to add testing/installation with multiple versions of Python (I’m thinking maybe tox?). At which point it’s probably not a huge stretch to allow installation/testing with PyPy, at least experimentally.
