Would this speed up compilation?

Probably, but psyco has been abandoned in favor of pypy (which runs on x86 and x64).
I've used pypy and it's impressive. Unfortunately, currently ZX Basic is not compatible with it (I guess due to the dynamic nature of the ply framwork).
I'm looking into it, since using -O3 takes some minutes to compile.

yes that would be great Big Grin

psyco only works with python 2.5
