<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I upgraded from 2.2.2 to 2.4 and all
is well except the output to the IDLE window is now twenty times slower than it
was before, making the window utterly unusable for verbose output. The statement
-- </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>for i in range (100): print i -- </FONT><FONT
face=Arial size=2>now takes about forty-five seconds to complete! Used to be
two.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Python 2.4 on Windows ME.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hints will be gratefully received by </FONT></DIV>
