My advice is that 'win32ui' is deprecated (along with the MFC it is built on) - be sure to stick to win32gui/winxpgui if possible. win32gui allows you to have either a dispatch function or a message map - my thinking at the time was that message maps are likely to be more convenient but not as flexible - so just allow both! They both suck in their own way :) A message map is likely to be faster, simply as less python code would be executed per-message. If GDI performance did become an issue, there is a simple optimization we can make for hot GDI functions that can't possibly cause a message to be sent (ie, don't release/acquire the GIL), but that is a bridge we can cross should we ever face it.
