It is Yeah, think of us poor guys who have to pay per minute being Online with a 33k modem. Filesize is money :( I suggest comparing the file sizes. If your packages dont get a lot bigger (eg. difference is < 5%), then precompile the .py files. Otherwise I think the tradeoff is too much. Greetings, Bastian
