Hi everybody,
  I'm fooling around with Arduino and FGFS, in order to create a few 
physical instruments.

Since I felt like using an intermediate piece of software that manages 
data transfers between Arduino and FGFS (Instead of connecting them 
directly one to the other) and every crazy thing my sick mind can 
produce, I started making FGFS talk to a Python using a telnet 
connection, then the script talks to the Arduino board on a serial 
connection. Well, it works ... but the telnet connection is very slow 
and that slows down every intercation, it makes it far less than realtime.

I was wondering if that telnet connection FGFS provides to access it's 
property tree is slow by design, if that's because Telnet can't do more 
by itself, or maybe it's only me with my OS/hardware configuration that 
makes it so terribly slow. Consider that everything runs on the very 
same machine, there's no physical wire that telnet has to cross at all.

Btw, I did that on an AthlonII-250 based machine, both on Windows7-64bit 
and Ubuntu 10 Linux, with Python 2.7 and 3.2, and an Arduino Mega2560 board.

Cheers,
   Roberto
