For the record, in IRC, Daniel Holth measured startup time of his repoze.bfg app and found that most of the startup time was chewed up (in his case) by the behavior of pkg_resources namespace packages when lots and lots of egg packages are on sys.path. He was able to reduce his application startup time from something like 5 seconds to 1 second (or sub-1-second maybe) by just getting rid of unused packages on sys.path. I think he also discovered that ZCML parsing time was negligible (at least relative to the time chewed up by pkg_resources). > Thanks for the great work.
