​Afaik importing became slower and slower as you had more more eggs around.
Haven't investigated what actually was the cause as I don't use eggs
anymore but the idea that zips are good for performance is wrong - you need
to look at a lot of zips (and unpack) to see what's importable. The zip
importing caches worse than stating lots of directories, since it needs to
cache file content while unzipped only needs metadata - correct me if I'm
wrong.
