We don't usually measure resource use in "pywikipedia readings/editing per
hour" ;-) The most common indicators of resource use are CPU time and memory.

My premise was "A newbie question" :-P

Ok. Have I some Unix tool to evaluate server resource used running a script? And - if such a tool exists and if it will give back some exoteric result to me - how can I evaluate it in terms of "heaviness"? I guess the best solution: to paste and copy here the result if any, and to ask you again. :-)

Feel free to send me your best link to a tutorial "Unix for dummies".
