Comment (by davidsarah):

 > I was able to get the time to run {{{bin/tahoe --help}}} on my machine
 to 1.1 seconds...

 I should clarify that this was actually {{{python bin/tahoe.py --help}}},
 with PYTHONPATH set to the {{{bin}}} directory, and Twisted installed
 globally (for {{{twisted.python.usage}}}). But since the refactored CLI
 source files could be in a single directory and don't depend on anything
 else, it is possible to solve the path problem more simply than we are
 currently doing.
