Sorry Eric, that was indeed intended for the list. Just for the list's sake, I'll repeat it: It takes longer than any other Python module for me, too, about 5-6 seconds on a "cold" load (on Windows), though faster on a "warm" load. I am running it locally on a laptop that is 1.7 GHz Intel Pentium laptop with 1Meg RAM. And I should add: I don't currently have Linux installed, but will soon again I hope, and I will take note of how long it takes on Linux.
