Ouch, I don't do python (something about it

"Hello, World" to run on my VMS server). It sounds to me like this

Sounds like Perl on my NSLU2. Two seconds to do a hello world, nearly ten to
run SpamAssassin over a single message. The same hello world app in C ran
instantly (or quick enough that I couldn't time it), and my homebrew spam
filter isn't much slower despite all the PCRE calls.
NSLU2? What on earth is that?
BTW, I don't have any issues with the speed of Perl or Ruby on my VMS
server, just Python. The actual execution of Python on VMS seems to be
fairly fast, at least on my box, the problem is the overhead with starting
it.
