Whenever I make even the smallest wxPython program, it takes multiple 
seconds before the window is visible. Last time I tried was on a Pentium 
4-M 2.2 GHz with 512 MB of RAM. Not a slow machine, and other software 
runs just fine.

It's really annoying, and nothing I do seems to improve the situation.
