I think it's of limited interest if it only helps with modules used during the startup sequence, not arbitrary stdlib or third-party modules. To give an idea, on my machine the baseline Python startup is about 20ms (`time python -c pass`), but if I import Numpy it grows to 100ms, and with Pandas it's more than 200ms. Saving 4ms on the baseline startup would make no practical difference for concrete usage. I'm ready to think there are other use cases where it matters, though.
