Upon import of uuid, that module uses ctypes.util to find libuuid/libc,
which involves forking a shell process which then forks and runs ldconfig.
ldconfig performs a whole bunch of disk accesses. This is a slowdown.
uuid.getnode() is also documented to be slow. Lets avoid using it in
the activity launch path; we don't need such a high degree of
randomness.
This makes activities launch 1-2 seconds faster on XO-1.
This is only on a best-effort basis; the code will be in a broken state after
this patch and need to be fixed manually.
The purpose of committing the intermediate, non-working output is to make it
reproducible. It's impractical to manually review the changes.
The exact version used was 4f637212f13b197a95c824967a58496b9e3b877c from the
main pygobject repository [1] plus a custom patch [2] that hasn't been sent
upstream yet.
