I apologize. I do not see the point comparing Python with
RUby however, or Python with anything else.

So instead of coming up with arbitary problems, why don't
we come up with solutions for "Improving Interpreter Startup Speeds" ?

I have only found that using the -S option speeds it up
significantly, but that's only if you're not using any site
packages and only using the built in libraries.

Can site.py be improved ?
