I always had the impression python is quite slow. The first HTML
preprocessor i used for my website (ahts) was implemented in python and
it was incredibly slow. I currently use your python tool for formatting
pov code in HTML and i also can see the slowdown on pages with many code
blocks.
Not directly related but i think param.inc would be a nice feature to be
implemented internally - it would be quite similar to the bicubic patch
object which is also represented as a mesh.
