That's suspiciously close to the core sprint. Since the -S time stayed roughly the same I suspect that either a new module was added to the startup sequence or one of the (too many) modules already involved grew a lot. My money is on a new module. Using python -v -c pass on a Python built from the Sept. 9 tree and one built from Sept. 15, it shouldn't be too hard to figure out which new module(s).

Raw results of Python 3.6 compared to Python 2.7: That's interesting, but I would be personally more interested in a performance comparison of 3.5 and 3.6, to know if anything interesting (or worrying :-)) has happened there. You can get this as well from https://speed.python.org/comparison/ and https://speed.python.org/timeline and looking at this, I think there is something worrying indeed: Startup time has increased by ~ 30 % between 3.5 and 3.6 again. More specifically, all this increase happened between Sep 09 and Sep 15. I have no clue why that is, but it is definitely the biggest effect far and wide. The performance differences between 2.7 and 3.x are quite well-known by now, and none of them are really dramatic except for the increase in startup time. Regards Antoine.
