I've an important question for you: is it
possible that a large python module,
created using SWIG and with a hundred
of routines, makes slower the execution
(i.e. the job of ceval.c) of the Python
interpreter ?
If you were running on a PC with what is now considered to be very small
memory, I would hypothesize that you had filled memory so that the
interpreter or parts thereof were being swapped in and out of memory
from and to disk. Is any thing like that possible with the PSP?
Next, I would wonder whether any module, as part of its initialization,
was doing anything 'unusual' with respect to its interaction with the
interpreter.
We've observed that, if we don't import
ndpsp.pyc at startup, the time of execution
of a loop containing the pass instruction
becomes near normal.
What happens if you divide the imported stuff in half?
Do both halves slow it down? Neither? Just one?
The answer to that would be a start to answering whether the specific
problem is quantitative or qualitative.
