I took a look at the zip and noticed that you are using PyAMF 0.3.0b, which is ancient! :) A lot of work has gone into optimising the PyAMF (x4-x8 improvement of d/encoding times is not unusual) as well as much improved integration with the Datastore. 0.6 is about to be released and if you are looking for speed then you probably want that version [1] (rather than the relatively old 0.5.1). It should be largely backwards compatible with your current code.
