I thought the network socket was the bottleneck. The example I am thinking of is getting the mouse pointer coords from Tk.

Obviously, using the C interface to draw to the screen wouldn't be useful. .hc ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---- Access to computers should be unlimited and total. - the hacker ethic _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
