If you decide to use pystone, I'd argue you incorporate psyco into the
distribution and stick the following code right after the definition of
Proc8:

    try:
        import psyco
    except ImportError:
        pass
    else:
        psyco.bind(Proc8)

(I believe that's the correct psyco call and the correct function to
optimize.  It's been awhile.)
