several seconds? sounds bad. what does the following script print on
your machine?

import time, subprocess, sys

t0 = time.time()
for i in range(10):
subprocess.call([sys.executable, "-c", "pass"])
print time.time() - t0

It prints 1.92199993134
What does that mean?

that it takes just under two seconds to start the interpreter ten times. not stunningly fast, but not too bad.

By the way, I thought I was importing just a file path from a module
but like you said it was importing the entire module. I got rid of
that import statement and the time dropped from 7 seconds to 1.5
seconds.

what module is this? if it takes 5.5 seconds to import a single module, something isn't quite right.
