I'm sorry, but that's not good marketing -- it contains big words, and
putting the brand name last is ineffective.  How about

    Python's Super() is Super -- Over 1528.7% Faster than C!

BTW, it's important that fractional percentages end with an odd digit.
 Research shows that if the last digit is even, 34.1% of consumers
tend to suspect the number was made up.
