You think users won't notice a doubling of execution time? Well, that explains some of the apps I'm forced to use... A two-second running time for (say) a command-line tool is already noticeable. A five-second one is *very* noticeable -- long enough to be a drag, short enough that you aren't tempted to go off and do something else while you're waiting for it to finish. -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
