Status: Done
The TIM Tools binaries had a horrible startup time on a system where Kaspersky virus scanner is running. 20 to 40 seconds, before even the first line of my (Lino's) code gets executed. When the virus scanner is disabled, the startup is normal.
The strange thing is that this slowness did *not* occur with version 0.5.4 (12.12.02). Even hello 0.6.8 (12.04.05) which just prints out «Hello, world!», needed 10 seconds to run.
