I try to avoid having lists as they have to be reallocated when appending items, but I have a lot of classes, class instances and functions.

Allright, here you go: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kevinkk525/pysmartnode/dev/pysmartnode/utils/subscriptionHandlers/test.py That's the file I used for the 2nd test (the 1st was with your function inside this file). You have to create the structure yourself, or clone the repository dev branch.

Hmm sounds rather complicated. Doubt that anyone would want to put that effort into the cross-compiler just to get some more performance.
Thanks for you answers!

oh I did not see that file the first time. The file is 2MB big, has a lot in it. QSTRs of all my modules and strings, a lot of (const bytes*), a lot of these: // frozen bytecode for file _testing/utils/subscribe_file.py, scope _testing_utils_subscribe_file__lt_module_gt__printMemory STATIC const byt...

Allright, here's a MCVE: I'm using the function you suggested in the module pysmartnode.utils.subscriptionHandlers.test: def b(): b();b();b();b();b();b();b();b();b();b();b();b();b();b();b();b();b();b();b();b();b();b();b();b();b();b();b();b();b();b();b();b();b();b();b();b();b();b();b(); return 0 All ...

As far as I can tell, no .c file holds my code. All files are inside ports/esp8266/build/frozen_mpy/ as .mpy
Apart from that there is code in ports/esp8266/build/build/frozen_mpy.o
There is nothing in ports/esp8266/build/build/frozen.o

I just followed the official instructions for freezing modules.

what result?
I put all my modules into ports/esp8266/modules folder and build the firmware..

Guess I don't know what you mean by FROZEN_STR.
My modules are frozen bytecode as part of the firmware. The strings of the configuartion are in these files and are not getting modified in any way and therefore stay in flash.

My problem is, that I have many mutable objects like classes and class instances, which can not be changed to be immutable. Therefore I tried loading some of these only when needed and then unload them. After importing the neccessary modules like uasyncio, mqtt_as, an mqtt_handler written by myself ...

ok so if I use frozen modules, I can't benefit from the native emitter because only the internal compiler of micropython can do that?
