Description
On a slower system like a raspberry pi 3, importing something from py_eth_sig_utils takes close to 15 seconds. Not sure what's taking that time, but seems cryptography libraries are somewhat doing their computation on import time.

Research direction
Start by profiling the import path for py_eth_sig_utils on a slower system such as a Raspberry Pi 3, paying particular attention to cryptography libraries initialized during import. Done would mean identifying the import-time bottleneck and reducing the nearly 15-second startup delay, but the issue names no source file or test to guide the investigation.
