Hot or cold ? If hot, there is something horribly wrong with your setup.
hot -- it takes about 10 cold.
I've been wondering about that.
time python -c "import numpy"
real 0m8.383s user 0m0.320s sys 0m7.805s
and similar results if run multiple times in a row.
Any idea what could be wrong? I have no clue where to start, though I suppose a complete clean out and re-install of python comes to mind.
Is only 'import numpy' slow, or other packages import slowly too ? Are there remote directories in your pythonpath ? Do you have old `eggs` in the site-packages directory that point to remote directories (installed with setuptools developp) ? Try cleaning the site-packages directory. That did the trick for me once.

oh, and this is a dual G5 PPC (which should have a faster disk than your Macbook)
