I'm not entirely sure what you're trying to achieve,

on earth, but it may be fast enough for you.
well, since you raise the issue ;-)
i am working on a python application that uses WMI to monitor various
states of the system while the app goes about its business. we have the
app running on about 10 different machines, and 9 out of 10 of the
platforms run our WMI queries in milliseconds, whereas on one particular
machine, the same query takes about 5 seconds.
i am trying to figure out where the delay could be coming from, meaning
i need to write some profiling code. but i imagine it could be one of
several things:
1. the one machine has a huge WMI database so takes longer to query (but
the machine is brand new with little software or special hardware installed)
2. COM code is clunky???, but why so slow on one machine
2. python-COM interface, but whats so special about this one machine...
anyone here have similar experience with WMI?
many thanks
