That is true, but I've seen cases where the start up time of Python (or the time it takes bitbake to start "doing work") is *perceptually* much larger than the work done by the recipe, or at least it looks like it represents a sigficant fraction of the total work. That's where PyPy might help. Marcelo -- _______________________________________________ yocto mailing list yocto@yoctoproject.org https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/yocto
