They still get read from disk, except that it is the operating system that does the reading. So what you really save is the access to many tiny files; something that can also be achieved with the zipfile import. So I wonder how your all-frozen binary compares to a standard binary with a python35.zip. If it is comparable, I'd rather extend on that route, i.e. promote putting the standard library into a zip file in the default installation, and also find a way where (say) /usr/bin/hg could conveniently specify a zip file that will contain the Mercurial byte code. For example, we could support a -Z option for the interpreter which would allow to append a zip file to a script that gets put on sys.path.
