And don't forget that gaming consoles are not equial to general-purpose computers - they do many things in bare hardware (sprites, music etc.). I had some experiance with how "fast" Java on the same machine is, so I was really surprised with Python's performance in this particular case. -Maxim To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
