Server-side script takes way too long to launch

[Josh Bloom]

Teresa, when you call a python script this way, the server needs to load the
python interpreter for each call.

If you need faster execution you should look into having a server process
running already. Something like mod_python for apache or CherryPy will help
you speed this up.
