Chandler is not built exclusively in Python, not by a long shot. There is a lot of C code involved as well. A large chunk of the repository is implemented in C, for example. Many of the third party software packages we used are C/C++ libraries such as, for example, wxPython or Berkeley DB. Chandler is not slow because of Python but because of the UI/data interaction model that was chosen. Any action in the UI can (and does) have lots (really, _lots_) of ramifications all the way down to the lowest level of the core. This is one of the things the ongoing rearchitecture effort is attempting to address. Blaming Python for Chandler's performance woes is barking up the wrong tree.
