It would be interesting if we could have a geth backend leveraging https://github.com/ethereum/py-geth for test purposes. Ideally spawning a globally unique chain for testing purposes, or simple ensuring that multiple tests are never run in parallel if not (using snapshot resetting between instances). Might live better in pytest-ethereum plugin as a faster alternative to py-evm?

My guess is that the overhead of managing the geth process would null-out most of the performance gains.

Latest py-evm (at least on master) has a 2x performance gain so probably worth exploring getting eth-tester up-to-date with latest release and seeing how that effects your performance.

Also made #160 to drop Python 3.5
