Compiling is not the problem. The time for first launch is spent
for loading ~ 10 MB of executables into memory. I tried this
on my Win2000, 800 MHz, 256 MByte computer:

- start wxpython app (stand alone tree.py from the demo): ~ 3-4 sec
- repeat start: < 1 sec
- delete *.pyc, repeat start: < 1 sec
- reboot, repeat start with *.pyc: ~ 3-4 sec

I was watching system performance simultaneously and noticed a
decrease of free RAM memory by ~ 10 MB on starting and the same
increase on stopping. But the dlls - once loaded - apparently
are kept in RAM.

Mit freundlichen Gruessen,

Peter Maas
