[wxPython-users] wxpython overhead

[Gavana, Andrea]

I have never seen such big difference in speed. As Robin said, for UI things, it doesn't matter because normally the bottleneck is the speed that the user is able to do things, not the speed that the event handlers run at. In other words, you won't be able to click/type so fast to beat event speeds :-)

Well, you could try to compare the demos of wxAUI and PyAUI. They are not *complete* applications, but they have quite an extended demo with a lot of functionalities. The two demos are exactly the same.
