where python is slower?

[Enrique Palomo]

Hello all.

At job, i must work with great size text files (up to 2 Gb)
I use python cause of its facility to work with strings.
But python is slower than others programming languages.

It´s not, by the moment, a big problem, but i would like to speed up the
code with C.

I would like to know where python is slower, reading files, writing, string
manipulation...

I have try with psyco and the results are unpredictable everytime i run the
script.

Thanks

Enrique
