Several optimizations:
self.__chips now contains the list of rgbtuple values for the chips named i - 1 (Tkinter counts from 1, we count from zero). The chip number was just the index + 1. This means color lookup need not do an itemcget(), it can just index into __chips. instead of calling __canvas.itemconfigure(), we glom up a huge Tcl script and call tk.eval() directly. Actually we do many appends to a Python list, then string.join() them together into one huge string. This reduces the overhead of Tkinter but making one fast call to Tcl.
