With a laptop 7735HS, using WSL2, I get 15ms for the interpreter to start and exit without any imports.

I've got a i5-10210U CPU @ 1.60GHz.

You triggered my curiosity. The chat window takes consistently 2.28s to start. The python interpreter takes roughly 30ms to start. I'll be doing some profiling.

Hey I felt bad that there was a longer delay and by making sure to lazy-load everything I could, I managed to bring down the startup time from 2.2 seconds to 0.6 on my machine! Massive improvement! Thanks for the challenge!

nice that's a huge difference

I wonder! In my more modest setup, it takes a couple of seconds perhaps. After that it's quite usable.
