Measure the impact of `PyPy` on performances

[ebonnal]

Added pypy's 30 times runtime improvement to the README

[ebonnal]

Few rough runtime orders of magnitude

Base snippet:

# main.py
from streamable import Stream
print(
    sum(
        Stream(range(1, 1_000_000_000))
        .map(lambda n: 1/n)
    )
)

Java stream

// Main.java
import java.util.stream.IntStream;
public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        double sum = IntStream
            .range(1, 1_000_000_000)
            .mapToDouble(n -> 1.0 / n)
            .sum();
        System.out.println(sum);
    }
}

C for loop

// main.c
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
    double sum = 0.0;
    for (long long int i = 1; i < 1000000000; ++i) {
        sum += 1.0 / i;
    }   
    printf("%.15f\n", sum);
    return 0;
}

Rust iterators

// main.rs
fn main() {
    let sum: f64 = (1..1_000_000_000)
        .map(|n| 1.0 / n as f64)
        .sum();
    println!("{}", sum);
}
