I think unfortunately this isn't really testing the zipping of python
files - just executing "pass" does not load any of the libraries from the .zip
Actually, it does. Try this experiment for yourself:
python -c "import sys; print sys.modules.keys()"
If you go through the list of module names printed, you'll find that quite
a few of them (e.g. warnings, exceptions, site, types, some parts of re,
os.path and others) are coming from .py files that are imported by Python
as part of its normal startup operations. So yes, "pass" does load quite a
few libraries from the .zip, and that's what accounts for the 350ms
difference on the Mac start time, and the 40ms or so difference on the
faster machine.
