Are you using Python from CVS? Python 2.3a2 still had prebinding 
enabled, which slowed down dynamic loading terribly (see the thread 
"Slow loading of modules" around 23-Feb-2003 in pythonmac-sig, for the 
people who weren't in on this).

And if you are using a non-prebinding Python: try using "sample" on 
python while it is doing it's
NSApplicationMain dance.
