Some more tests and found lazy loading of modules in other areas, gives good speedup on cold start.
Times don't compare to last tests because I disabled some options (BGE, FFMPEG etc). I did lazy importing of modules: traceback, shutil, time, math and pydoc I also removed 'collections' import as well as netrender. * Results for "time ./blender -b" after flushing disk cache, Normal: 8.923 sec Lazy Loading: 4.647s * note, removing collections import means we would need to use a different ordered dict metaclass, I'm not worried about this since we don't use many of the OrderedDict features, we could have a cut down version.
