What happens if it does not work? And how would you quantify the slowness?

This could be caused by the buffering mechanisms on standart output.
Maybe you will have more luck using standart error stream (stderr)
which should not be buffered - or by flushing the stream.

I have modified the code a bit so that I could run it without QGIS.
Everything worked as expected. I have attached the modified dialog
file - check out whether it will work better when run from outside
QGIS.
