Suggestions for speeding up Python interpreter startup

Considering that Mercurial has probably put some thought into Python's
startup time, do you have any recommendations on specific improvements
that could be made in the Python interpreter/stdlib regarding startup
time (and perhaps memory usage)?  There's some momentum on the topic
on python-dev right now (default/3.4-only, sorry).  Thanks!
