Almost hesitant to suggest this one but since we primarily use
Ubuntu 14.04 LTS for stable/mitaka jobs and 16.04 LTS for later
branches, could bloat in a newer release of the Python 2.7
interpreter there (or something even lower-level still like glibc)
be a contributing factor? I agree it's more likely bloat in some
commonly-used module (possibly even one developed outside our
community), but potential system-level overhead probably should also
get some investigation.
