Feature #3330: Delay imports of sre_compile and CodonTable during SeqIO import

I had a look why biopython takes a long while to parse my FASTA files. I used the standard trace module of python and see that it imports too many other packages that I really need. For example, the Codontable import is really costly, also sre_compile import is expensive. Could they be imported during their first actual use? Something lazy evaluation (http://wiki.python.org/moin/PythonSpeed/PerformanceTips)?
$ python -m trace --trace -- test.py 1>/tmp/test.out 2>test.err
$ cat test.py
#! /usr/bin/env python
from Bio import SeqIO
for _record in SeqIO.parse("test.fasta", 'fasta'):
print _record.id
$ cat test.fasta
>test

Whatever you can do in this regard will be much appreciated. ;-) I have biopython-1.58.
