I'm not sure it'd make a big difference speedwise. Could somebody try rebuiling their python using --without-pymalloc and see if memory usage is more reasonable? > Or: > * Rewrite performance-sensitive parts of the deskbar applet in C, > but keep the rest in python. That technique works well for CPU-speed limited code, but would probably make little difference for memory usage unless nearly all was written in C. Bear in mind the interpreter itself carries quite a large fixed overhead. But I guess you'd need to do some memory profiling (assuming there are tools that can profile the python heaps). > Work is underway to generate C++ from python code: > http://sourceforge.net/projects/shedskin/ That would be great! It seems the project has stalled slightly though. thanks -mike _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
