The only thing I could think of is that matplotlib.matplotlib_fname does: fname = os.path.join( os.getcwd(), 'matplotlibrc') if os.path.exists(fname): return fname So if os.path.exists is slow for directories with many files, this could be the culprit (though it would surprise me). Maximilian, these lines are found in matplotlib/__init__.py -- you may want to try commenting them out and rerunning to see if this helps your issue.
