I don't know the answer directly; i sm not sure anyone can answer as the solution likely depends on the % of effort required for f2py overhead to call the program vs the % of effort to execute the 6s code. 

Also, the type and size/extent of arguments (if any) may slow down f2py.  I suggest the best way to know is to write a small script to call the .exe 'N' times and do the same for f2py.

I call this file many, many times.  Basically I am wondering it it would be faster to use f2py.  Does anybody know if that would be the case?
