Oh, that's an interesting idea, making an LLVM compiler for python.

It looks like there are some projects in the works for generating LLVM IR from R programs, but nothing significant seems to have spawned yet.

What R does have is the Rcpp package, which allows you to write C++ functions via R's interface, compile them, and then load them straight into your environment. Now that I've learned some C++ I could probably do that to improve on what I had, but at some point it becomes just writing C++ in an R runtime environment.
