After seeing the announcement for PyObjc on the cocoa-dev list, I decided t=
o=20
download and try it out.  Unfortunetly, I think (hope!) I'm doing something=
=20
wrong.  I have a 300Mhz iBook with 284 Megs of ram.  It isn't a speed demon=
,=20
but Jaguar runs fine on it.  However, when using a brand-new Python/Cocoa=20
project (the template), it takes *20* seconds to startup.  In comparasion P=
B=20
takes about 5.  If I run the program, then kill it and immediately launch i=
t=20
again, it drops to 18 seconds.  Either one is way too long to be usable.  A=
ny=20
ideas of what I should try?  Some sort of pre-compile?  Use MacPython rathe=
r=20
than the built-in 2.2?  I can appreciate that it will not be as fast as=20
ObjC/Cocoa app, but...

Many thanks!
