Unicode charmap decoders slow

2005-10-02 Thread Tony Nelson
Is there a faster way to decode from charmaps to utf-8 than unicode()? I'm writing a small card-file program. As a test, I use a 53 MB MBox file, in mac-roman encoding. My program reads and parses the file into messages in about 3..5 seconds, but takes about 13.5 seconds to iterate over the

gtk.TextView.move_mark_onscreen() broken?
