Not significant. Basically import module puts the module name into the local names dictionary. "from m import f" puts f into the dictionary, so it could save a dictionary lookup, but they are pretty fast... Its not like the whole module gets copied, it's only a single name entry in a dictionary, then an extra dictionary access when you use a feature of the imported module.
