There's also a GSOC project idea at the mono page (http://www.mono-project.com/StudentProjects#LLVM_Back-End) for targetting LLVM from the mono JIT. This way more projects can share the same optimizations, which would hopefully mean less double efforts..

How does unladen-swallow compare to PyPy?

PyPy has an LLVM backend: http://codespeak.net/pypy/dist/pypy/doc/home.html

The last time the LLVM backend was mentioned on the PyPy blog it was mentioned near the phrase "unmaintained and at least partially broken"
