A program doesn’t run any faster when it is read from a .pyc or .pyo file than when it is read from a .py file; the only thing that’s faster about .pyc or .pyo files is the speed with which they are loaded.

I booted your "sid" iso to a live session and found that you can quickly eliminate AT LEAST 275Mb ("size on disk") worth of bloat.
I'm curious to hear what the reduction in squashfs/iso size will be.
The primarly source of bloat is from extraneous locale-specific files
