10 seconds is pretty long, but I'd like to know how this scales before 
panicing ;-).

The Todo example is a more complicated application. On my system 
(667Mhz tibook) it launches in 2.7 seconds, while PythonBrowser 
launches in 2.4. Most of the difference seems to be in the time before 
calling NSApplicationMain (1.4 seconds vs. 1.1 seconds)

This seems to indicate that the launch-time for more compilicated apps 
is not that much worse than that of a simple app. However, that doesn't 
mean we shouldn't try to improve the performance of the bridge.
