I just remembered that shortly before release of Python 2.3 there was a big fuss about the startup time. Has anyone revisited the issue since then?
As Nick says, we looked at it at PyCon. I found that a lot of calls to string interning are made, and changed the marshal format to share interned strings, instead of duplicating them. This causes good savings in disk space; whether it also saves startup time significantly is hard to prove.
