[Matplotlib-users] Matplotlib very slow

[<jgo...@gm...>]

Hi,
I have compiled v.0.90.1 on RHEL 5. By default, the GTKAgg backend is being 
used (TkAgg cannot be set, as TkInter is not installed on the system, I 
think. It throws a "NO Module named Tkinter" error).

At any rate, a test session is as follows:
import pylab
pylab.plot ( [1,2,3],[1,2,3],'-or') #Wait for a long time, up to 3-4 minutes
pylab.show() # Display the graph. Quite fast <1sec

This delay is very unusual, and does not happen on my laptop. Does anyone have 
any ideas?

Thanks!
Jose
