Right, I'm using the standard python profiler and it won't measure 
inside C function calls.  However, in this case that was enough to 
highlight this specific code in PySide.  I actually use IPython and type 
"%prun import PySide".  I show the output in the PS (because IPython is 
extremely handy and worth illustrating!).

It might be the same thing in a different form.  Whether or not 
"supportsSsl" is legitimately taking 1 second, I don't really know (or 
care).  The reason I don't care is because I don't want to call it at 
all, but PySide has coded it directly in the root PySide.__init__:
