I don't know what do you mean.
But I think bzr.exe has shorter startup time because of library.zip.

Well, I measure only difference between py2exe'd version with library.zip
and putting all *.pyc files in directories. It's not the same like full-fledged
python installation.
But for my experiments I got times from 50-100 ms to 300ms. It depends on hardware and kind of file 
system.

I think I know why it faster. And I think std python installation even slower.
Especially if you have setuptools and eggs packages installed.
