Guido:
(1) Make binary pickling the default (in cPickle as well as pickle).
That would break a lot of programs that use pickle without opening the file in binary mode.
(2) Replace the PyRun_String() call in cPickle with something faster. Maybe the algorithm from parsestr() from compile.c can be exposed;
I like that idea -- it could be useful for other things, too. I could use something like that in Pyrex, for example.
