I haven't done any speed optimization or even profiled the code, so that looks really good to me. I think optimization might help with parameter binding and type conversion.
Did your tests include parameters? Could you run your tests against PyGreSQL from which pypg is derived? That would show a clearer picutre of the speed difference between C/Python for this application.
