Well, import time is so important that the Mercurial developers have written an on-demand import mechanism, to reduce the latency of command-line operations.

One question here, I guess - does the importlib integration do anything to make writing on-demand import mechanisms easier (I'd suspect not, but you never know...) If it did, then performance issues might be somewhat less of a sticking point, as usual depending on use cases.
