[IronPython] Performance Issue

I set the ModuleBuiltins compiler option but the behavior is the same.  The
only difference from the command line is that I am calling a python function
from the DLR, and on the command line I am just calling the method from
__main__.  Do you think could be an issue?  The other thing is that the
python script relies heavily on I/O, input file is in the range of 18Mb and
the data is stored on another file.  Does the DLR handles I/O differently
than the command line?
regards,

wilfredo
