[Pythonmac-SIG] Nasty bug in frozen applications

[Jack Jansen]

I just found a nasty bug in the PYC resource import code, which is
used by applications generated with BuildApplication. The symptom is
that imports are a lot slower than they should be. For smallish
applications this shoulnd't be too much of a problem, but if you have
a big application generated with BuildApplication the startup time of
your app has probably drastically increased somewhere around MacPython
2.0.

If anyone is experiencing this slowdown: let me know. I wasn't sure
whether I'd do a 2.1.1 release for MacPython, but this is the sort of
thing that may convice me to do put some work in it...
