I was only using the REPL for demonstration.  The same delay
happens when I import a module in a script.  The module file
is on the local drive.  I only have to have a CWD on the mounted
drive to experience the 25 second delay.  As I said, the mount
is over a 5mb connection - it's not wildly quick but it's quite
usable normally.
