I am using giac from giacpy and I am wondering (I believe this is more a giac issue) why the startup is pretty slow. In general this is not an issue but having a faster startup would make life a bit easier. For instance, running a giacpy program one waits around 1-2 seconds to just get the text
after which the program gets executed. I know this is a minor issue but it does not hurt to optimize the startup speed (is there a configuration I need to setup to optimize this? e.g. the search for help file is unnecessary for me and I could benefit from bypassing it manually). Running giac/icas to execute a script from terminal/command-line has the same behaviour (slow startup trying to search for help files). It would be great if we could have the startup profiled. Is there anyway this can be improved without putting too much work into it?Help file doc/fr/aide_cas not found

Just to compare: Executing a pari from python (python library developed by Anton Mellit) or a pari/gp-script in command line by running gp with the same computer starts rather fast (definitely much below one second).
