I can’t agree with this statement: “IronPython is actually doing quite a lot at startup time” http://ironpython-urls.blogspot.com/2009/08/good-mix-20-startup-time-inline-c.html If you are doing again and again the same thing and it affects users of the language why don’t you do it by some other way? Probably it could be possible to pre-compile the parts of CPython standard library IronPython uses. It is not a big deal to have couple more dlls required if you get 10 times faster startup time. Now for example it is not possible to write ‘unit tests’ by using IronPython. Just because ‘unit test’ is a code taking less than 10ms for run.
