Thanks for the tip. I'll put testing with Psyco on my list of things to do before launching the game. It's too bad that Pysco only runs on x86 right now since one of the other very appealing things about Python (and Pygame) is the ability to go multi-platform with little or no code changes. Being able to do that, and get a nice speed boost from Pysco on multiple platforms would be ideal. Oh well, small steps to bigger things. :)
