It looks like the time is spent opening the Python libraries, but my attempts

If you are using these libraries often and they exist on a remote server
(NFS or whatever) you may want to use the "libraries" or "prestage"
directives in Scyld's config to put them on compute nodes instead.

When I run that with mpirun -host n0 python cached_imports_collections.py, it
initially takes about 10 seconds to import. However, repeated runs take less
time, until it takes less than 0.01 seconds to import.
Please forgive me for saying this.
