Hey, this could be a big win for Zope startup. Dunno how much of that
20-30 sec startup overhead is due to loading modules, but I'm sure it's
a sizeable percentage. Any Zope-heads listening?

Probably not a concern in the case of Zope: one installation, one
process, only gets started when it's explicitly shut down and
restarted. HmmmMMMMmmm...
