Working on this issue, I realized that some modules compiled really slowly due to import trees bringing the entire repository in. Importing some modules such as paramsparser, osal and gittools in particular slowed compile times (without tcc) to >20 seconds.

Created a performance tool to print import trees of files in modules
Started removing unnecessary imports and refactoring to avoid using entire modules for very little use

We should come up with guidelines to keep modules light, and detect other modules with tend to lower compile times, ideally figuring out the root cause.
