* ``-X showalloccount`` to output the total count of allocated objects for
each type when the program finishes. This only works when Python was built with
``COUNT_ALLOCS`` defined.
+ * ``-X importtime`` to show how long each import takes. It shows module name,
+ cumulative time (including nested imports) and self time (exluding nested
+ imports). Note that its output may be broken in multi threaded application.
+ Typical usage is ``python3 -X importtime -c 'import asyncio'``.
It also allows passing arbitrary values and retrieving them through the
:data:`sys._xoptions` dictionary.
