+* The interpreter starts about 30% faster. A couple of measures lead to the
+  speedup. The interpreter loads less modules on startup, e.g. the :mod:`re`,
+  :mod:`collections` and :mod:`locale` modules and their dependencies are no
+  longer imported by default. The marshal module has been improved to load
+  compiled Python code faster.
