If they're invoked in fresh processes, then you're looking at process startup time, and I would recommend using OS-level tools to play around with that. Unix-like systems will usually have a 'time' command which will tell you exactly how much wall and CPU time a process took needed; just create a system that starts up and promptly shuts down, and then you can test iterations that way. Of course, there are a million and one variables (disk caches, other activity on the system, etc), but it's better than nothing. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
