Hi, That's because I'm using Python through another application, via the pywin32 extensions. When that other application starts, it performs several thousands of file requests (we're talking 4,500, roughly) in the Python installation, locations where there are Python files, and in some other locations that don't make sense. This adds considerable time to the startup time of the application, we're talking between 2 and 9 seconds.
This a problem with the application, not Python. But I'm looking for ways to minimize this overhead so the users of this application waste less time waiting after the startup.
