If you have recently run the packed code, i.e. last few minutes, your OS cashing may well go - you just deleted those files and need them back so here you go. Also some anti-virus software can cause a huge variability - the first time that you run it will scan the entire packed executable before allowing it to run, scan the files it writes as it writes them and in some cases scan them again as they are read but once it has done so may just verify that it is the same unchanged file. Also any dynamic load libraries are loaded into RAM at the first run and don't necessarily remove themselves as soon as you exit so a second run shortly after the first can be faster from that as well. -- Steve (Gadget) Barnes Any opinions in this message are my personal opinions and do not reflect those of my employer. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "PyInstaller" group.
