Not sure what that means -- Massimo will have to reply. Once a module has been loaded within a given Python process, it won't be repeatedly reloaded -- see https://docs.python.org/3/reference/import.html#the-module-cache. web2py model and controller files are executed on every request -- if they import a module, there will be a very small performance hit to look up the module in sys.modules on each request (trivial relative to the cost of initializing the module on the very first request), but given web2py's execution model, there is nothing you will do to eliminate that.
