Can you try using elp.el to profile python.el and conf-mode.el in the
slow cases?  The instructions are at the beginning of elp.el.

If you are sure you are using python.el that comes with Emacs 23.0.93
and that there's no stray python-SOMETHING.el on your load-path, then
no need to dig deeper.

conf-mode.el, I'd presume.
