Speed with Python

[Richard Chamberlain]

>> Given the same amount of development time, a python GUI is
likely to appear faster and smoother than the equivalent C++ GUI
because the python programmer has enough time to be clever.

Absolutely.

A while back I developed a gui in vb to an sql database. I
needed to make some changes which were significant in terms of
vb but trivial in python so I implemented a COM server and did
the database calls via odbc. I was actually very suprised with
the overall speed.

So I recently converted the whole application into Python with
Tkinter. It runs slightly faster than my original application,
mainly due to me having the time to be clever about it.
