Is this with a static Python or a framework python? I still haven't 
gotten around at looking at prebinding, so I don't think any is done. 
Also, it may be possible to prebind extension modules (haven't checked) 
which may also make a difference. If this is all possible it should be 
fairly simple: one prebinding magic incantation in the main Python 
Makefile and explaining distutils how to prebind dynamic modules for 
the Python that was used to run the distutils.

1. What is Sampler?

2. Could we globally override +bundleForClass: with a category or 
somesuch and put a cache in there?
