Comment(by tomeu):

 Just tried to launch Edit with a python built by Michael that measures the
 time that takes to read and parse a module.

 It took 238.7ms in total.

 The read and parse times for modules inside IPython is 116ms, almost half
 of total.

 So I think that points to the module level code as the reason why
 importing modules is slow, not the reading and parsing of the modules.
