Hi,
the other day I asked myself why calendarserver (written in python using
twisted) takes ages to start when booting my laptop.
A measurable part of this is Python looking for modules. As the Debian
OS pretty much knows what modules are in /usr/lib/python2.5 and friends,
maybe Debian's Python should use that information, at least when called
from scripts in /usr/{s,}bin?
To add some numbers: For me (badly measured) fairly primitive caching
seems to reduce
python -c "import zope.interface"
from 5.5 to 2.5 seconds.[1]
Kind regards
T.
