I assume that Python loads compiled (.pyc and/or .pyo) from the stdlib. That's something that also influences the startup time (compiling source vs loading pre-compiled modules).
My benchmark was "python3 -m perf command -- python3 -c pass": I don't explicitly remove .pyc files, I expect that Python uses prebuilt .pyc files from __pycache__. Victor
