No, ~50 is the number of imports at startup. I think startup time should grow by less than 10%.

Well, if importlib enabled user-level functionality, I guess it could be attractive to trade a slice of performance against it. But from an user's point of view, bootstrapping importlib is mostly an implementation detail with not much of a positive impact.
