Hello,

I built an image with DataFrames (only) as an extra module, and the loading 
of it is now much faster.
Here is the new timing of module loading (PyPlot and Winston are not in the 
sys image).
 
C:\Users\me>julia timeLoading.jl
start time: 0
using DataFrames... loading...
load time: 0.6729998588562012 secs
using PyPlot... loading...
INFO: Loading help data...
load time: 15.241000175476074 secs
using Winston... loading...
load time: 5.635999917984009 secs

In REPL 'using DataFrames' don't causes crashes or other odd behavior (in 
my previous post I screwed up with 'Dataframes' instead of 'FataFrames' and 
didn't notice the typo...).
I didn't do exhaustive tests to DataFrames now but a small program I'm 
developing that uses some of its features is working. I'll inform about any 
odd behavior I detect.

Meanwhile I also built an image with both DataFrames and Winston. But now 
'using Winston' was accepted in the REPL (and loaded fast, of course), but 
when running plot(), nothing is displayed and the REPL is closed silently. 
   

So, in the end it seems that in Windows 7, 64 bits, some Julia modules are 
able to be included in the sys.ji image (DataFrames, for instance) while 
other aren't (Gadfly, Winston). Don't know how this relates with Linux/OSx 
installations... or what happens with other modules. 

Regards

Jose
