It doesn't help that Django documentation is a bit misleading in
saying:
"You can also add directives such as PythonAutoReload Off for
performance."
Again, for Django it makes no difference, even to performance.
For further information read the documentation on import_module()
function, as that is what underlays the module importer used for the
Python*Handler directives.
