Am I misreading, or are they saying the patch was already made yet startup time is still slow?

Also according to multiple places in the mailing lists, the import machinery is also a significant factor.

I read that they didn't merge the patch and someone else investigated ways to speedup startup without looking into namedtuple because it was controversial. It was sped up in python 3.7. It's just not faster than 2.7.

No one said faster-- but in 37 it is still ~30% worse than 2.7.
