That's a big supposition to make: [11:12:35] g...@~/ $time python -c'import twisted' real 0m1.487s user 0m0.282s sys 0m0.103s [11:12:58] g...@~/ $time perl -MPOE -e1 real 0m0.092s user 0m0.076s sys 0m0.014s Note that I am not a Python person so I don't know if these two commands really are equivalent. -Chris
