+#### isOneFile     
+
+This switch controls a notable PyInstaller feature, i.e. bundling dependencies
+into a single (compressed) exe when creating a 
+[Stand Alone Executable](LowLevel.md#stand-alone-executables) vs leaving the 
+dependencies outside of the exe.  Unlike PyInstaller, this library wrapper 
+defaults to employing the single file feature. That produces a more "clean", streamlined, product which appears (on the surface) nearly identical across 
+build environments - including cross platform.  But, this comes at the expense
+of slowing down the launching of an executable.  
+
+We recommend using the one file option for "small" programs, or ones which will
+not likely be opened very often.  Set this to `False`, however, to boost 
+a program's performance as far as load time is concerned.
