The only thing I can think of is if you're on a 64-bit OS then ipy.exe is a
32-bit
EXE and the EXE you compiled is platform neutral - so it'll load on the 64-bit
CLR.
If that's the case you could use pyc.py with /platform:x86 and you should get
the
same behavior as ipy.exe.
Other than that I'm not sure what would cause this - I get the same times on my
(32-bit) laptop when running:
Measure-Command { & '.\ipy.exe' .\time.py }
And
Measure-Command { & .\time.exe }
