Did you try a preload? You can start an invisible task that keeps
the wxpython stuff in memory. You could even start this task as a
Win32 service so that it is loaded prior to any login.

BTW, the load time is not only due to GUI libs. Python itself does
also have a share. Just tried that with a command line script and
my rough estimate is that approx. 50% of the wxpython load delay
is due to Python itself (at least on my machine: Win 2000, 800MHz,
256 MByte).

Mit freundlichen Gruessen,
