The The Computer Language Shootout has just published results for
Python 2.5 and Psyco 1.5.2. Comparing the old (Python 2.4) Gentoo
Pentium 4 results (now not visible anymore) with the new results, I
have seen that all the tests with Python 2.5 are faster than the ones
with Python 2.4 (some results can't be compared because N is changed):

Gentoo Pentium 4, Python 2.4.3 measurements:
Program & Logs      CPU Time   Memory KB   GZip           N
binary-trees           99.26      15,816    402          16

Regarding Psyco, two tests only are worse (the sourcecode, CPU and SO
are the same):

Old (Python 2.4.3, older Psyco):
nsieve  4.22    22,680  211      9
reverse-complement      1.66    49,336  330      2,500,000

New (Python 2.5, Psyco 1.5.2):
nsieve  4.26    22,904  211      9
reverse-complement      1.75    52,056  330      2,500,000
