If you mean the "openembedded" repository, there is the 2011.03-maintenance 
branch; however this is not the basis for future development. With the Yocto 
Project release coming up soon, OE-core should be fairly stable (or at least 
heading that way).

Busybox is used by default and the rest is of course mandatory. I'm not 
entirely sure we have an image in OE-core that is just console with package 
management though; we really ought to sort that out if that's the case. Even 
so this is trivial to add, you just need "package-management" in the 
IMAGE_FEATURES for your image.

Not sure; I'm under the impression that Psyco made only a very small difference 
however. Most of the time taken running BitBake is in the tasks it runs (and 
the order it runs them); no generic Python tool is going to be able to improve 
that.
