The dependency graph of a large Python app can be quite a mess. Previously, we were regenerating the AST of files many times, as they were imported by different modules. Adding a simple LRU cache [path -> AST tree] sped up pyt on one of my code bases by 5x. We currently only mutate newly created artificial nodes, so we can store one copy of each module's AST and expect it to be static. We can make it even faster by setting maxsize=None, so there is no eviction logic, but for now I think it's already an improvement. An alternative could be to rewrite the code which deals with imports.
