There is a very long delay when a new version of Kepler is first executed. This
is particularly noticable on the Mac. This delay is due to the Python actor
going through all jars on the the classpath to build a bunch of stuff in the
PTII/lib/cachedir directory! It is only done the first time a new version is
run, but it seems to go through every class in Java. The delay is so long that
many users will think that kepler is not working.
