I think something that may be even more important to consider than just
the pure speed of your program, would be ease of design as well as the
overall stability of your code.
My opinion would be that writing in Python would have many benefits
over the speed gains of using C. For instance, you craw

Seriously: yes, and (often even more importantly) data structure.

This is following the pattern of your previous post on language choice
wrt. writing a mail server. It is very common for beginers to over
emphasize performance requirements, size of the executable etc. More is
always good. Right? Yes! But at what cost?

But a web crawler is going to be *mainly* I/O bound - so language
efficiency won't be the main issue. There are severa

What kind of network connection do you have, that's fast enough
that even a fairly cpu-inefficient crawler won't saturate it?
