well, I'm happy to do some benchmarking.
I'm confident of beating PyPgSQL as it wastes time in a few places.
Also the others have to do two type mappings (network-> local C, C-> Python),
I only do one, but I'm not sure.

Well, it was me ;-) At the time I said I thought Richard would
also support this (removal of compulsory manual episode-naming)
Deriving episode-names from soAp etc. is entirely my own idea.

Somehow we need to make this clearer visually. I know everyone hates tree 
widgets,
but IMHO it woud be logical to have a (pre-expanded) tree widget with the 
health issues
(and "Default", or "Unattached") at the toplevel and the open episodes (NB only 
Default
 can have more than one episode) on the second level.
Plus, just to formalise things, IMHO we should have four "rules":
        - saving a SOAP note without selecting an episode silently creates a 
new episode under the default health issue
        - connecting  a SOAP note to a health issue silently creates a new 
episode under that health issue (I assume we do this already)
        - new episodes are named after soAp, if blank then Soap.
        - episodes unused for 3 months (configurable) are silently closed.
The need for silence is important, otherwise we quickly enter Popup Hell (where 
I am currently at work)
The idea is the computer can guess it right 90% of the time, and we can 
manually correct it through a right-click menu
on the problem list when it doesn't.
Of course any or all of these rules can be turned on or off, maybe some people 
like popups, I dunno ;-)
