cool. not sure I fully grok this, but faster is good. is it just import times that are improved?

I had thought it had an effect on runtimes under CPython, but looks like it is just import time. More info here: http://morepypy.blogspot.com/2015/05/cffi-10-beta-1.html

ok. still, seems like ti could be useful, and potentially make the install easier.
