Brett Cannon added the comment: Here are the benchmark results of freezing warnings.py as _frozen_warnings (very quick hack which doesn't use _frozen_warnings is attached). Basically -S slows down by about 3% and normal startup has no measurable impact. Not sure if that's worth it to simplify the warnings code or not.
