Research direction
The issue names Kolibri's pure-Python pyrsa crypto loading but no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the code path that loads the cryptography libraries and compare startup behavior with and without C extensions. Done means identifying a safe way to delay library loading until needed and demonstrating reduced loading overhead.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
Observation
It seems that within Kolibri, running without C extensions, there's significant "time spent loading all the pure-Python pyrsa crypto code into memory" (says @jamalex)
