Doing a blanket call to Psyco for my whole application gives me a 3-5%
performance improvement, which isn't spectacular, but is nice to get for
free.  I haven't looked into had tuning things for further gains.

The last time I checked, Psyco was x86 only.  Unfortunately it doesn't
help my iMac.

This is kind of off topic for this list, but while we are talking about
Psyco, I might as well ask.  Does anyone know if you can use Psyco with
py2exe?

Thanks,
