Well, another gain could be had in making the software less wasteful of cpu cycles. I'm a pretty experienced programmer by most people's standards but I see a lot of systems where I can't for the life of me figure out how they manage to be so slow. It might be caused by environmental pollutants emanating from Redmond. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
