I had a (sort of) similar problem recently with a python script on an N900 phone, with the startup time completely dominating the total runtime. I simply converted it into daemon instead, which solved the responsiveness problem for me. I wonder if that is applicable for your situation. -- regards, kushal -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
