Aside from that being a meaningless, worst case example, an "overhead" of .047 seconds is hardly worth worrying about unless the command in question is run multiple times per minute, all the time. And besides: $ time perl -e 1 real 0m0.008s Perl is 6 times faster than Python! :) -- Chris Adams <cmad...@hiwaay.net> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble. -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
