hi, i'd be interested to see how prepared geometries could speed that up.
but i've found this:
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/faq/howto_faq.html?highlight=nxutils#test-whether-a-point-is-inside-a-polygon
to be _extremely_ fast.

you could also stick your points in an rtree
(http://pypi.python.org/pypi/Rtree/) and grab the points falling
within the bounds, then do the contains() test
on the points that pass that.
