Roughly the same here: 2-3 seconds for the Demo and my own wxPython app to
start on a Mac G5. Around 3 seconds on my Pentium II 333 MHz with Linux and
Win2000 as well - you don't need a GHz CPU to create a window with Python.
The only limitation I can think of is limited memory so the OS needs to swap
to free some space first. CPU speed is not a serious factor.


I personally consider wxPython the best choice for a Python GUI. Tkinter
apps look too alien to the common Windows enduser. Of course that depends on
the target audience and might be an issue or not.
