How long does it normally take to launch an app of similar complexity 
on your machine?

The period of time between NSApplicationMain() and the first 
awakeFromNib() is comprised of most of the "hard stuff" of launching an 
app;  setting up the notification stuff, the mach ports, and all the 
other innards that integrate the App into OS X....

Unless we have a bug somewhere, that period of time shouldn't really be 
any longer than a 'normal' app as there really isn't anything from 
PyObjC that is involved (unless your app delegate implements 
willFinishLaunching())?
