I ran my script with callgrind and looked at the output in Kcachegrind,
but I didn't really grasp much of what it was telling me. It seems that
I'm spending an inordinate amount of time in libfontconfig.so, but
otherwise I couldn't identify any of my functions that were slow.
The tricky part about optimizing this is that it isn't exactly the
*program itself* that is slow -- the thin clients aren't running the
program. They're just receiving the X11 data from the server (which is
actually running the code, and barely breaking a sweat doing it).
So I guess what I really need is to reduce the amount of data being sent
to the X server to a bare minimum. It does alright with showing a web
page, it's the actual interactive bits (drop downs, text inputs, etc)
that are really slow.

Or, profile your application using a tool like Valgrind to find out what
parts of your code in particular should be worth looking at for
optimizing purposes. Remember the 90/10 rule: a 90 percent speed
increase can be achieved by optimizing only 10 percent of your code.

I wrote a small browser in PyQT4 using QWebView, of course. The
browser runs
well and does what I need, but when I deployed it to my thin
clients, it was
far to slow to use.
In fact, most modern browsers were; I had to settle on Epiphany
because all
the other browsers I tried were far to slow at showing or
interacting with
HTML controls (text inputs, drop-downs, etc).
I tried disabling all QT effects in the Trolltech.conf file, and
various
graphicssystem settings on Qapplication, but it's still slow.
Are there any other places where graphical effects can be toned
down or
optimized? I still notice a bit of a fade-in effect on
drop-downs even when
all QT Gui effects are disabled, and this is rendering really
badly on the
thin clients (slow and lots of screen artifacts).
