At least it's not completely wrong. :-)
Good :-)

If I understood correctly you want to remove the overhead produced by
remote calls. To do this you must move your code into a UNO component
and install it as an extension to OOo. You then can instantiate and run
this UNO component with one or two remote calls.
The UNO component must be implemented in Java, Python or C++, the latter
would give the best performance because even Java components running in
the same process as OOo still use a UNO bridge to communicate with OOo.
But maybe I misunderstood you.
Ciao,

No, you understood me very well. Since I'm working on a Python
application, I have read the pages about the UNO components in python
(http://udk.openoffice.org/python/python-bridge.html).
On that pages, however, I read the following about writing UNO components:
* you want to easily roll out your code to multiple other
machines (using UNO packages)
* your scripts shall get triggered by UI events (menu or toolbars)
* you have collected some experience with PyUNO
* you want your script to run with the best performance
This bring me a question: are UNO components to be activated only from
UI events? Or they can be activated via remote calls from another
process?
Thanks for your suggestions.
Marco (who is now looking for his copy of the C++ Stroustrup book).
