Why are you specifically worried about that? If you're doing AST 
transformations you're probably either doing it offline/AOT or you're already 
doing extra processing which means you probably aren't stressing over how 
quickly an initial import will take if this is all worries surrounding doing 
live AST transformations on the way to writing out bytecode or loading a module 
on the fly.
