> 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__.
