These changes save ~35ms when running isort on the yt-dlp codebase on Linux (~3.2secs -> 3.165secs, ~1% of the total time).
The savings should be a bit greater on Windows and macOS because repeated
os.listdir
calls are avoided too.The main motivation behind these changes, however, was to speed up pylint, which relies on isort for import-order checks. When running pylint on a private codebase with ~2200 Python files, I see a reduction of ~10,000 stat calls after applying this PR.
