I don't know exactly either, but psyco JIT compiles Python, not C.  In
the PyObject case you might see some benefit if numpy ends up calling
back into methods that are implemented in Python.

Right, so if you take that routine and rewrite it as a C function that
expects floats and handles them internally as such, I would think that
you might see a similar improvement.
