Wow, great work! The relevant code that is slowing startup down so much is the *function/method deprecation decorator*. I wonder if we have a ton of code that is marked as deprecated, but not removed? Otherwise, wouldn't this code you fixed have less of an effect? I think the deprecation period is typically 1 year. I wonder what percentage of deprecated code is older than a year... (and hence could be removed). -- William > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "sage-devel" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com. > Visit this group at https://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. -- William (http://wstein.org) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
