I don't know what the specific issue is here, but adding entries to sys.path makes startup time *significantly* slower.
I happen to use easy_install since Windows doesn't have its own package manager. Unfortunately the default of creating a new directory and adding it to easy_install.pth is actually pretty terrible.
Adding sys.path entries on Linux isn't free either. Fortunately, this isn't about adding anything to sys.path. -Fred -- Fred L. Drake, Jr. <fdrake at gmail.com> "A storm broke loose in my mind." --Albert Einstein
