[Python.NET] Major speed change old 2.5 -> latest 2.5 build

[Craig Farrow]

Barton,

It is true that getPreload yields True in interactive mode and False in 
an application, however, that setting has no effect for me.

In interactive mode with the old 2.5 whether Preload is set to True or 
False the db load time is just over 1 second. In the new 2.5 and 2.6 & 
2.7 in both interactive mode and application mode the load time is 
between 14 and 18 seconds. Everything else is the same between runs; and 
I'm starting a fresh session for each test.

Thanks for your help,

Craig.
