Sounds like premature optimization. Speed "things" up? What things?
How long is it taking now to load the modules you are loading? Even the
wxPython demo takes only a few seconds to load on a decent machine, and
that's loading a *heck* of a lot of stuff. (And it takes the
conventional approach to this issue too, which is to display a splash
screen while things load.)
