We are having much success with Pyrex as a way to recover about all of the C
speed, once analysed the bottlenecks, without actually writing any new C.
Well, to be honest, Pyrex invites you to think in C (yet also in Python)
while using Python syntax, a rather elegant compromise in my opinion.

So, for our team, the argument that Python is slow does not hold anymore.
