It may be, depending on what you import. I certainly have seen (and profiled) it. In my experience, stat calls and regex compilation often come at the top of the culprits for slow imports. In the case of setuptools namespace package, there was a thread on 23rd april on distutils-sig about this issue: most of the slowdown came from unneeded stat (and symlink translations). cheers, David
