Comment #1 on issue 5 by mwhapp...@xxxxxxxxx: Translating short strings
takes an extremely long time and gobbles up CPU if braillePages=yes

I am fairly confident that the issue does not lie within the python
bindings. I did a similar measuring of the time as that approach in the
test script, applying that in the bindings themselves so that only the
actual call to liblouisxml would be measured. The time reported for the C
call in the bindings came out as 0.012 for the long string and 270.782 for
the short string, the test script reported 0.014 for the long string and
270.782 for the short string. As the only code between the start time being
taken and the end time being taken in my modified version of the bindings
was the if statement where the C call is made and handling should an error
value be returned, to me this says that other parts of the bindings cannot
be to blame. The only further test which I think would prove it more is to
write a simple test C programme.
