MHo, 2010-07-13: I notice the following symptom with startpacks on MS windows:
I don't know the reason yet, as I have only started to analyse what's going on a few hours ago... It seems that the phenomen has nothing or little to do with the size of the executable. Sure, an antivirus engine is active and accessing the network drive for the first time always gives a little delay but... it seems that something's going on inside the starpack which slows down the whole "bootstrap" under certain circumstances. Well, maybe the reason is my ugly coding and not the tclkit itself...
Maybe someone can confirm the behaviour in general?
I have to take a deeper look at the output of FileMon and ProcMon.
