Install python-enchant. It is not a dependency, but not installing it makes
start up a lot slower. This will be fixed in 3.2, no python-enchant, no
spell checking in the notes.

Otherwise, I can think of no reason. Gramps is mainly developed on linux, so
if it is faster on windows it is an unknown bonus :-D
Anyway, bsddb build makes some difference, the last known item on devel list
was that widows with python 2.6 was massively more slow than linux or
windows with python 2.5 on xml import, see
