Sounds like a broken (networked?) file system. The only time I've
had that kind of problems with python startup is when I've had really
slow anti-virus programs that scanned all the files I opened. But then
it wasn't file requests that mattered, but actually opening them...
It still wasn't anywhere near 9 seconds though...
