Actually it did load quite a few of libraries - I was adding them to

The load time of Chandler wasn't the point of the test - the Chandler
python files are not part of the zip, only the python core library. My
primary goal for the test was to see if we could speed up the loading
of the core python modules.
What will increase the load time of Chandler is another change I'll be
making to the build - the pre-compiling of all .py files on each
platform.
I think you mean *decrease* the load time. ;)
In any case, the timings you gave are for the case where hardly anything is
imported; I suspect that loading Chandler will show more of a speedup from
the zipping just because more stdlib modules will have been imported.
I suspect that for the debug build we may want to leave the stdlib
unzipped, however, so that people using debuggers can step into stdlib
source code -- something that can't generally be done with zipped Python
code at the moment.
