performance benefits from byte code files?

[Dan Gindikin]

I was wondering what the performance benefit is from having a .pyc file
around.

Here an example that motivates this quiestion. Lets say I have a
relatively large script.py CGI script. Since it is always executed
directly, a script.pyc file is never generated. Is it then beneficial
to write a tiny wrapper that does nothing but
   import script
   script.run()
because then script.pyc does get generated?
