Have you done any investigation of the problem other than to record how long
it takes to start your script? On my laptop starting a simple script (two
buttons in a vbox in a window - a total of 28 imports) takes about 0.3
seconds. I will assume your ipaq is somewhat slower than my linux laptop,
but I doubt it's 100x slower unless you're paging like crazy (got enough
memory).
First place I'd start poking around is to run the script using "python -v"
to see if there are any pregnant pauses during import. After that, try the
profile module (part of core Python) and the trace script
(.../Tools/scripts/trace.py in the standard distribution).
