It prints 1.92199993134
What does that mean?

By the way, I thought I was importing just a file path from a module
but like you said it was importing the entire module.  I got rid of
that import statement and the time dropped from 7 seconds to 1.5
seconds.

Any other tips for speeding up python load time for IIS?  (I mean
really simply tips, I don't have time anything soon to fool with
fastCGI for IIS or setting up ASP)
