This is Intel Core 2 Duo 2.5Ghz with 4GB Ram.
================================================================================
Platform :
Linux-2.6.31.9-174.fc12.i686.PAE-i686-with-fedora-12-Constantine
Python : ('CPython', 'tags/r262', '71600')
IPython : 0.10
Matplotlib : 1.0.svn.rev8214
================================================================================
I[2]: %time import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
CPU times: user 0.35 s, sys: 0.09 s, total: 0.43 s
Wall time: 1.18 s
My test-bed is IPython -pylab and the first load always takes longer.
Probably it's caching at the first time to speed-up later imports.
