At lunch yesterday Robert Bradshaw made the interesting suggestion to read the docs for importlib (http://docs.python.org/dev/library/importlib.html) and write a customized import hook, so that every time during Sage startup that a module is imported, the import is done from a single big in-memory zip file instead of done using the filesystem. If this can be made to work, it would be a huge win for slow filesystems. The basic problem is that some filesystems are fast but have huge*latency*.
You mean like http://docs.python.org/library/zipimport.html ?
