[Pythonmac-SIG] is mac python slower?

[Michael Toy]

% time python << EOF
from wxPython.wx import *
EOF

real    0m5.383s
user    0m2.190s
sys     0m0.290s

on a 1GHZ powerbook.

I was looking at why our app feels much slower, even when comparing 
fast macs to slow pcs.

Before I waste hours on this, does anyone know if this really is slower 
than an equivalent pc,
and if so, where the fault lies?
