It's certainly the case that the system has cached all files needed for 
startup in memory, including the directory contents of all directories 
searched.

OTOH, I assume that is the scenario in which people worry about startup 
time: high-frequency invocations of python. For a single invocation, it 
shouldn't matter much whether it takes 0.04s or 0.08s.
