RFC: startup time - again

[Alexander Belchenko]

I think your times and my times are different because we're using
different hardware and have different software running in background.
So results are not directly comparable.

Anyway it's dead end.

But as mentioned, I couldn't get any significant differences at any compression level.  Another interesting option would be to try and split out the tests into their own .zip file and add that at the end of sys.path (and it might end up making sense to do something similar for all plugins?)
