in thread Win32::OLE::Const startup delay

There's a line in:
$PerlDir\site\lib\Win32\OLE\Const.pm
that reads
__PACKAGE__->_Typelibs;

If I comment out this line then it loads instantly, if I uncomment this line, then I get my delay.

Update: it appears that _Typelibs() is defined in

site\lib\auto\Win32\OLE\OLE.dll
