The script I just posted took 3.263 seconds, including hitting "Cancel" to 
make the dialog box go away, on a PowerBook G4/867 running Panther.  Total 
user/sys time was 1.39 seconds.  Pain is highly dependent on your system 
specifics and pain threshhold.

In my experience, Panther is quite a bit faster with Mac::Carbon startup 
than Jaguar was.  I've got some benchmarks I keep meaning to clean up and 
post.  The time spent in dyld has -- the biggest problem -- has been 
dramatically reduced.
