You probably meant "C is faster than C".  That is a reasonable 
statement, but users of Psyco don't need to write anything special 
beyond a handful of extra statements in Python.

To the user, Psyco is a module that makes things fast.  They wrote 
everything in Python, so to them, "Python with Psyco is faster than C" 
is far more accurate.
