Python startup performance ?

[Arun Sharma]

Not a big deal - but would be helpful when executing a large number
of python scripts over and over again.

$ time -p perl -e 'print "hello world\n"'
hello world
real 0.01
user 0.01
sys 0.00
$ time -p python -c 'print "hello world\n"'
hello world
 
real 0.93
user 0.05
sys 0.05
