Speed enhancement
Psyco can noticeably speed up CPU-bound applications. The actual performance depends greatly on the application and varies from a slight slowdown to a 100x speedup. Psyco also advertises its ease of use: the simplest Psyco optimization involves adding only two lines to the top of a script: import psyco psyco.full() These commands will import the psyco module, and have Psyco optimize the entire script. This approach is best suited to shorter scripts, but demonstrates the minimal amount of work needed to begin applying Psyco optimizations to an existing program. ==See also==
