IOW you want the sys.modules case fast, which I will never be able to match compared to C code since that is pure execution with no I/O.

Sure you can: have a really fast Python VM.

Constructive: if you can run this code under PyPy it'd be easy to just:

$ pypy -mtimeit "import struct" $ pypy -mtimeit -s "import importlib" "importlib.import_module('struct')"

Or whatever the right API is.
