.NET (dotGNU too) IronPython is the codename for an alpha release of the Python programming language for the .NET platform. It supports an interactive interpreter with fully dynamic compilation. It is well integrated with the rest of the framework and makes all .NET libraries easily available to Python programmers.

A far as I could see, it isn't faster than Cpython. What's more, in most cases it is much more slower.
However, I've never done any intensive testing. I just tested the speed of very simple code snippets, and they always come up being much slower in Ironpython than in Cpython.

This is not to criticize, IP is still in alpha, and performance optimization is always the last thing to do when creating a language implementation...
