+In Win32, DLL's are "pre-linked" using a specified base address.
+When the DLL is loaded, an attempt is made to place it at
+that address.  If that address is already in use, a new base address
+is selected, and the DLL subject to fixups.  Apparently, these
+fixups are very slow, and significant performance gains can be
+made by selecting a good base address.
+
+This document is to allocate base addresses to core Python 
+and Python .PYD files, to give a better change of optimal performance.
+This base address is passed to the linker using the /BASE
+command line switch.
