I really doubt that as the amount of stat calls is significantly reduced in Python 3.3 compared to Python 3.2 (startup benchmarks show Python 3.3 is roughly 1.66x faster than 3.2 thanks to caching filenames in a directory).

$ strace ./python -c '' 2>&1 | grep -c stat

Python 2.7 - 161 stats Python 3.2 - 555 stats Python 3.3 - 243 stats
