You mean this isn't a well-known optimization technique? :) I was refactoring the code, and after making a particular function redundant I noticed that removing the code for that function produced the slow down described. Then I naturally experimented to try to figure out what I had to put back in to recover the original speed. Not that I really care about the speed itself, but I'd dearly like to understand what's at work here. Mark -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
