I wrote a small script for work and when developing it everything was fine but when I turned it over for production use people complained about the time it took to display the first form. Looking into it, all the time seemed to be spent in importing various modules used by the script. I made a new script of just the import statements and a print Hello World and then ran it both as a python script and an executable with the results below. What's going on and is there any way to speed this up?
