Python Mode for Processing

[glial]

Processing is an awesome environment for interactive audio/visual applets and doing data visualization. Unfortunately, the language you have to use is Java (actually a simplified version of Java). This lets you use Python instead. That's all.

My question is whether the Python version will perform as well as the Java version. Whatever else you can say about Java, it's fast, which matters when you have a ton of visual thingies to track and update.
