Re: Slow loading, moving base code to C

[Simon Feltman <s feltman gmail com>]

There is now a patch set [1] which includes lazy doc string evaluation along with the removal of wrapped invoke/info objects. With the whole patch set, I'm observing an overall %20 improvement for Gtk import times and a %14 improvement for single argument function calls. Reviews are needed and welcome.

You should follow it, we need your help! :)

We might not be able to use lazy class creation for overrides but what about the methods and vfuncs on the classes? Essentially doing the same thing IntrospectionModule.__getattr__ does. We certainly don't need to finalize the loading of all 430 methods on Gtk.Widget at import time?
