A. Your question seems much too vague to answer.
B. Premature optimization is the root of all evil. In all likelihood,
the time taken by the `import` will be absolutely trivial compared to
the rest of the script, so don't bother micro-optimizing ahead of
time; write readable code first, then worry about optimization once
it's working perfectly.

Cheers,
Chris
