One cheesy thing you might try is serializing with marshal rather than
pickle.  It won't handle as many object types, and it's not guaranteed
interoperable from one Python version to another, but it's potentially
faster than pickle.  Of course for pickling I presume you're already
using cPickle (written in C) instead of Pickle (written in Python).
