map() is really at its most efficient when used with built-ins, not
user defined functions. In those cases, I believe you're better off
using a for-loop or list comprehension. Also: are you sure they
support psyco? It's not part of stdlib...

I thought something simpler might work:

import sys

sys.stdin.readline()

for line in sys.stdin.readlines():
    nums = map(int, line.split())
    print nums[0] * nums[1]

But although this processes 5.5MB < 2 secs on my PC (which meets the
2.5MB/sec criteria outlined in INTEST), I'm getting the same result
that you are.

Do you know how big the input data set actually is?
