it depends somewhat on what you import, too. some people would sell their grandmothers to get below 1s when you start importing numpys and scikits.
The upcoming lazy import system may help with startup time…but if the underlying issue wasn’t “Python startup is slow” but rather “a specific program imports modules that take a long time to low”, it’ll only shift the time consumption to runtime.
