our major show stoppers(stuff like stringWidth) are already in C; the remainder are rather complex methods to do things like paragraph splitting. We're already considering fcgi to eliminate the startup time. A trial with psyco indicates another 15% could be obtained there, but I don't think we can use that on the target platform (which I think is sparc). -- Robin Becker -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
