Thanks, Egor. For interest, I'd also point to a talk by Ian Ozsvald I
attended at PyconUK in which he covered his take on the soup of tools and
techniques used to squeeze extra performance out of Python (
http://www.slideshare.net/PyData/high-performance-python-landscape-ian-ozsvald).
The talks were videoed (sp) so a video might be available soon.

Best,

Safe
