Intel Distribution for Python

[ElChino]

I just got an Intel newsletter describing
"Intel Distribution for Python".

Quote:
   With Intel® Distribution for Python, it’s not unusual
   to see speed-ups of 20x (or more) for numerically intensive
   Python codes like those that use the Numpy* and SciPy* stack.

Sounds very exiting; 20 times speed-up! Has anybody tried it
and found this claim to be true?
