I was able to make some improvement in load time by linking the
Carbon framework to the python executable, so it could be prebound.

This was a while ago, and I forget all the steps involved, but one thing
I had to do was compile wxMac with special flags to allow it to be
loaded into a prebound python.  Otherwise I would get a DYLD_DEBUG 
message like "can't load non-prebound library into prebound executable,
disabling prebinding."
