I like the idea, but gimmicks like this make porting to tiny platforms
harder when pushed "too far".

People concerned about startup time seem mostly to deal with apps that e.g.
fire up Python 1000s of times from shell scripts or cgi.  They're not going
to care about monster modules (like Tkinter and grail).  So I think Paul's
original 64K is a good compromise.

Not a bad idea.

I'd up the limit to 256K so Tkinter.pyc (comfortably) fits.
