On my computer, the name lookup is almost a quarter of the time to build 
a set:

    [steve ~]$ python3.10 -m timeit "frozenset"
    10000000 loops, best of 5: 24.4 nsec per loop
    [steve ~]$ python3.10 -m timeit "{1, 2, 3, 4, 5}"
    2000000 loops, best of 5: 110 nsec per loop

and about 10% of the total time:

    [steve ~]$ python3.10 -m timeit "frozenset({1, 2, 3, 4, 5})"
    1000000 loops, best of 5: 237 nsec per loop

If I use a tuple instead of the set, it is about 12% of the total time:

    [steve ~]$ python3.10 -m timeit "frozenset((1, 2, 3, 4, 5))"
    2000000 loops, best of 5: 193 nsec per loop

So not negligible.
