os.path.getmtime could be used in a tight loop, to sync directories with
a lot of files for instance.

100000 loops, best of 3: 2.67 usec per loop
% python3 -m timeit -s "import os.path; p = 'out'" "isinstance(p, (str,

% python3 -m timeit -s "import os.path; p = 'out'" "os.path.getmtime(p)"
100000 loops, best of 3: 2.02 usec per loop

a 25% markup is a lot imo.

I don't think those results are very informative, since os.path.getmtime() accepts both str and bytes, so it must already have the str/bytes check.
