That didn't occur to me, since neither of my large constants includes strings.... I think you're suggesting that each constant could appear in the source as a long bytestring and be deserialized into the data structure. If that works, it should improve the startup time, but it's still not as nice as simply compiling it straight up. I'll try it.
