\> I assume that Python loads compiled (.pyc and/or .pyo) from the stdlib. That's something that also influences the startup time (compiling source vs loading pre-compiled modules).
My benchmark was "python3 -m perf command -- python3 -c pass": I don't
explicitly remove .pyc files, I expect that Python uses prebuilt .pyc
files from \_\_pycache\_\_.

OK, that should be the best case.
An idea to improve the situation might be to find an alternative structure for .pyc/pyo files, which allows to (partially) "parallelize" their loading (not execution, of course), or at least speed-up the process. Maybe a GSoC project for some student, if no core dev has time to investigate it.
