Small GUI utilities, or command-line?

How fast does this run (put it in a test.py file and run it):
{{{
import time
import dabo
beg = time.time()
dabo.ui.loadUI("wx")
app = dabo.dApp()
app.setup()
def onActivate(evt):
app.finish()
app.MainForm = dabo.ui.dForm(OnActivate=onActivate)
app.start()
end = time.time()
print """
Seconds to import dabo, instantiate a dApp, instantiate
a dForm, and close the app:""", end-beg
}}}
This will help determine if Python/Dabo is slow, or something in your
form design or even in the cdxml conversion is the issue.
Here's three runs on my Ubuntu 8.10 on not very impressive hardware:
3.82075691223
1.3194899559
1.3800508976

Dabo is aimed for big apps, yes. But, my big application loads and
presents the first form to the user in less than 5 seconds.

Nate's suggestion of having an umbrella app loaded was pretty good. You
could load it once and then select utilities from a menu or some sort of
GUI.
