Yes, I believe you mentioned that. I do recall, however, shortly after your N900 sank somewhere, that I was using your SVN version from the garage - that only came with .py files if I recall correctly, and, upon copying the .py files from the svn directory to where they belonged, the updated version kicked in - however, the last-modified dates on the.pyc files never changed.

At any rate, even if I'm wrong, my point was still that while uncompiled python (even if AIS executes the compiled versions normally) takes up some RAM and CPU, it's not enough to account for the numbers that the person I was responding to reported.
