Why does python give a slight delay when running a Reascript action?

I have translated some old Reascript actions from Perl to Python and there is always a noticeable half second delay when I run the Python version. The perl version would run immediately, but the python version always pauses before executing. These are not complex actions, and even the most simple Reascript python action has this delay. Has anyone else noticed this delay with python? Or if not, can anyone provide advice on how to fix this?

Yeah, same here. Sometimes this is very annoying. Don't know how to fix :(

I have found there is a large delay when running the first script of a session. I think this is because a function table is populated with a "pointer" for every API function.

the frustrating thing is that when I was originally using Perl for Reascript there was no delay at all. ...and seeing as how i was probably the last person left using perl i doubt that functionality will ever return. ehh.. first world problems i guess. not the end of the world.
