[issue1116520] Prefix search is filesystem-centric

[Brett Cannon]

Brett Cannon added the comment:

Originally zip file importing was faster than standard importing from disk because of the fewer stat calls, but importlib caches such things so I don't know if it's still beneficial. As for space savings, I have no idea; you can try zipping the files yourself to find out the space savings.
