Being curious, had tried several benchmarks as well.
Indeed, the function-level imports have some overhead. But the
overhead becomes less and less important, as long as the function
complexity increases. If a function does nothing except import (as in
your case), the performance hit is several hun

Not entirely sure how I managed to miss your benchmark figures when I
read your mail, but

Note that in some cases, dynamic imports are done to avoid loading a
Django subsystem, large external library, or optional dependency until
it is strictly necessary.
There are certainly still examples where none of those good reasons
apply.

I was digging through some code today, and I noticed imports are
happening within a lot of functions. It was my knowledge that it works
like so:
import in a function is the same as ruby's load or php's include --
its executed everytime the function is
import in a module outside a function is lik
