It could be interesting.

"""
  - pyvm is * 2 times * faster than Python 2.4. In the source code there 
is a collection of benchmarks which includes 65 python scripts collected 
from the internet. At average if Python 2.4 needs 24 hours to do some 
job, pyvm can do it in 12 hours.
  - pyvm is a virtual machine that can run Python 2.3/2.4 bytecode. 
There is a compiler written in python (the 'pyc' program) which is 
executed by the vm to compile source code to bytecode. It is very easy 
to do advanced optimizations in python and the compiler produces 
bytecode of high quality (speed and size).
