If we were talking about more than 10,000 files, I might buy it. But we are talking about 1300 files. Also the processing goes something like O(n), in reverse, slower as it processes the files in the directory. I might buy it staying slow if it started slow but it doesn't. -- Scott Lambert KC5MLE Unix SysAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ This message was sent to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe or change your options at http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
