There's also the increasing number of modules (Python or otherwise) that have to be loaded on startup.

We can easily peel off about 11 modules (re, sysconfig and their dependencies) with some changes to site.py:

Another low hanging fruit is the copyreg module:

The os module imports MutableMapping from collections.abc. That import adds collections, collections.abc and eight more modules. I'm not sure if we can do anything about it, though.
