In fact you mean such a accessibilitty infrastructure is not 
performance critical??????
Thats the point why I am against using python.
I think such important things like 
speech/braille output servers are performance critical and should not be
implemented this way.

Scripting in orca neeed such a flexibility ACK.
What about orca's performance in general?
There were some performance improvements last months but comparing orca
to ohther screenreaders showws the problem.

Any way speechd currently works very stable and I sugest to 
extend its functionality instead of writing a new dispatcher.
