[wxPython] wxpy slower than pygtk

Hi all,

I recently learned a little bit of wxPython and wxGtk.
wxPython's demo looks more interesting. But when I
tried to run a simple file from both wxPy and wxGtk,
usally wxPy takes 2-5 seconds to appear a window,
while wxGtk often in 1-2 seconds.

I'm just curious about this phenominon, anybody can
tell the reason for this ? (My machine is Celeron
400MHz, 128M memory, 20G hard disk.)

I'm guessing that you are refering to process startup time. wxGTK does a
lot of up front initialization, which is what I would guess you are seeing.
Since wxGTK is built on top of gtk, there will always be some extra overhead
there compared to using gtk by itself. wxPython has some startup overhead
as well, which I am thinking about ways of reducing.

The more important comparrison in my opinion is how they compare after the
initial window is shown, not only run-time speed but also all the "ity's".
Scalability, Portability, Flexibility, Programability, Understandability,
etc., etc., etc.

Robin:

Thank you very much for your immediate answer. I
understand it now.

BTW, is there any way to display CJK 2-byte words
in wxWindows/wxPython on an English Xwindows ?
