Python question - first call is slower?

Hi, I have run across a puzzling issue in Python, and I wonder if anyone on the list can explain it. I have a python function which takes some input and produces some output - it doesn't keep permanent state, and presumably running it twice would do exactly the same thing twice, and take exactly t

Thanks. They are in JPG, not RAW. exif is copied over. Minimal compression setting (whatever that means on the camera's user interface). My takeaway from your answer is, as usual - "it depends". Most of the photos were takens in typical opportunistic "catching the kid doing something funny" reaso
