In probably order of efficacy:
1) Use a better algorithm
2) Replace 'for' loops with vector operations or list
comprehensions
3) Install more RAM
4) Install a faster disk drive
5) Use a faster CPU
6) Rent DVDs to watch while program is running.
Before you do anything, you should profile your program to see
where the time is being spent.
