[Zope] Efficiency of "Script (Python)" versus External Method

[Andrew Hedges]

Is there a difference in the efficiency of a function as a "Script  
(Python)" Zope object versus an External Method?  The use case is  
that I need to run a fairly simple function (an implementation of the  
Levenshtein distance algorithm) over a result set in the range of  
30-40k records.  Are the two implementations close enough that I  
should just not worry about it or would you expect I would see a  
significant difference between the two?

Thanks,
-Andrew
