With three other apps open, all the same things happen but they take about 7 times as long. Perhaps it is swapping to virtual memory.

Maybe put up a "Loading ..." message?

As for the load times, that's pretty unusual; are other applications slow to launch as well, or is it just Flip? The initial launch (first time you run it) usually takes a bit of time because python compiles all of the scripts into objects... but once that's done it should load fairly quickly (usually about 3-5 seconds from clicking icon to clock display).

Maybe you're out of memory or even flash space so Python doesn't have anywhere to store the compiled object files?

Even closing the application doesn't work after that. Only way to close the flip clock is kill the python itself.

I didn't had any issues with previous version of flip clock.

I will try to uninstalling and reinstalling the application to see if that fixes the problem.

This should be a short term hold over for everyone; I'm pushing hard to try and get the C-based version up to basic functionality so that you guys can give that one a shot and start testing it as the performance is much better, and since it's a rebuild from scratch it's a little more optimized... If anyone's interested let me know, but at this point I've got the clock interface up and running, just no alarm functionality yet which is my next task...

Ciro, not sure if you've been doing any further development on your end, but if you're interested in seeing where it's at I'm going to do a commit to SVN in about 20 minutes...
