Disk-based cache ? gdbm ? sqlite ?

Replacing alt-f2 would make deskbar-applet mandatory. I'm already
annoyed when alt-f2 takes 2s to come because it has been swapped
so ... :)

For CPU usage, you have the standard library profiler and the timeit
module. See chapter "Python Profiler" in python2.4-lib. But I never
found any free/libre memory profiler for python.

(A question just crossed my mind about sharing memory between python
processes : then you need to depend on the same python version (= run
the same VM). Which one ? i think python2.3 would be the best candidate.
i know python2.4 is out for a long time, not yet wide spread on distro.
There are also some breakage from 2.3 -> 2.4, so it might not be easy to
run 2.3 apps on 2.4)
