I suspect that there is some OS level caching going on. I think some of
the type libraries installed on your machine are stored on a network drive
and not on a local disk.
I don't have time to work out right now if we need those file tests at all,
but I have another idea that might speed up the code some more: In front
of the line that you modified with the patch insert the following line:
local ${^WIN32_SLOPPY_STAT} = 1;
Please let me know if this has any effect on your startup time.
Cheers,
-Jan
