Rev. 62678 from March 7, 2009, had the following comment:

"""
This is Psyco V2 beta 2
=======================

Generators are completely re-written.
We still use a compact object, but state is loaded/saved
at every entry or exit to a generator. This is faster,
much more difficult to implement, and has the advantage
that it does not overly stress promotion.

This is still a beta, to be replaced. This version uses
an explicit self variable to hold generator state. It will
go away, again, but it was helpful for the transition phase.

The calling of the generators has a big overhead, which will be
optimized in the next beta. Anyway, this is a version that can be used!
"""

Besides that, how about *trying* things, yourself?
How hard is it to figure out, if generators get accelerated or
not?

Anyways, generators are enabled, and that can be deduced from
the fact that the disabling code is gone. :-)
