Seriously, what is roughly the overhead of the Python glue
if I have a scripted sequence of 1) grabbing a frame from /dev/video
2) doing some processing on it 3) displaying it.

Assuming 1, 2, 3 is written in C (I guess displaying a canvass will
involve some Python), is the overhead relevant? It doesn't seem to be a
problem with PyMOL, so it won't probably bite in this case, but it's
worth asking.
