I have several applications (Python/Tkinter, of course) that run on everything from 233MHz single board computers to 3GHz screamers. I like to keep the user entertained by printing messages like '1000 things processed...', '2000 things processed...', etc. Depending on the speed of a system it might be appropriate to say something every 1000 things on some machines, and on others say something maybe every 50 things to keep the messages coming out at a reasonable pace.
Does anyone have ideas on a good, little, short, quick routine that I can slip into my program that will run before an operation starts that will give me some kind of gauge as to the speed of the system the application is running on so I can set my "%X" value (i.e. if Count%X == 0: say something) appropriate for the system speed? (Like I'll determine the best value for X on the fastest machine and use this routine to scale things down from there.) Thanks!
