Splitting up large python module impact on performance?

I doubt it. Time taken to load modules is mostly dependent on
the total amount of code, not how many files it lives in.

If you had a *very* large number of tiny files, it might be a
bit slower due to all the stat calls required, but I wouldn't
worry about it too much. Just structure you code in a way that
makes sense, and deal with performance problems if and when
the occur.
