Clarifications for Fast IO project; And the proposal

yes I’ve given that blog a read too! I also went to their bug tracker to find the issue with NFS (the software crashing if PC goes to sleep). It won’t happen while importing, but for the entire duration the imported model is in use, before getting written somewhere, it can very well happen. If I’m understanding the fourth picture correctly.

Are you suggesting to port those to C/C++ but to keep the rest of the import code in Python?

Python doesn’t seem to add anything more than quick prototyping and ease of modification. If mmap is to be accepted, I’d suggest scraping all the functional code from python, leaving only UI buttons’ hooks. If not, then yes, let’s keep some part here, some there.
