Well, more than twenty years ago we all had simple text editors with no extraneous UI elements. Now you have to pay the cost of good meal to get that for your Mac. I guess I could see if the old VT100 still powers up, that would surely take it to the next level, and beyond!

If batch programming had not existed long before, he would have reinvented it. :-)

Heck, my first exposure to programming was by way of a textbook that used a nonexistant decimal machine's assembler; presumably I could have submitted my code to a simulator had I been attending the right college, but I was only in seventh grade at the time.

Show of hands: who hasn't ever played computer with their code?

The first thing you want to do is measure the problem in enough detail to identify the cause. I can recommend Rob's Debug Toolbar (though with reservations about the possible overhead, though I'd have been happy to chance that when I needed to instrument an underperforming site):

http://github.com/robhudson/django-debug-toolbar/

though his tree doesn't have the injectable measurement points I've added to the timer panel yet. I hesitate to suggest this for a production setting only because it's not had much third party exposure (or if it has no one's let me know), but "it works for me":

You might want to avoid the most recent commit (so use da1429...) - Rob had asked about adding support for the cache API's "add" method, and I threw that together based on the spec; that one part is completely untested other than that it doesn't cause a compilation error in my test setting.
