Is it me or does Hardy run like a pig?

You can't have it both ways. The easier it gets to code (python and widget 
libraries for example) the more software choices we are all going to have.
The best of those new apps will live and gradually get optimized.

I speak from a little bit of experience. I am not a good programmer but I have 
not let that stop me trying to contribute in my own way. I don't care overly 
about 'optimization' because you have to have something *working* first.

It's practical and real. If others suffer from my code they are welcome to fix 
it -- that's why it's GPL.

Stop being silly. You are not suffering at all. You have choice and you have 
power to make a difference.

My machine runs all kinds of Python/Ruby and other 'scripting' code. It's not 
slow. The slow-down you are experiencing will be something you'll find 
eventually and I bet it will be unrelated to python et al.
