Might I suggest to try as well Psyco:
http://psyco.sourceforge.net/

Since, as you put in your email, that the script spends most of its time handling strings, Psyco
should be able to increase the performance.

I will try it out (the 1G RAM machine here is busy) on my small workstation as soon as my
compilation of OpenOffice is done... :-)
