       | Admittedly, I think this Micropython port is seemingly more
       | targeting a Mac Plus, whilst I suspect the original Mac Python

       | (an embedded friendly ES7 runtime) for a Macintosh Classic,
       | morally a Plus, I regularly got startup times of up to a minute -
       | I think most of it due to the sheer size of the resulting
       | binaries and standard libraries.
