These are unlikely to be working anymore, since we put a lot of effort in recording package dependencies in mirgecom requirements/conda-env itself.

The 'Running on lots of nodes' section is also completely outdated, I think it's better to keep that documentation in mirgecom itself.

## Running on systems with lots of nodes (>256)
On large systems, the file system can become a bottleneck for loading Python
packages. On these systems, it is recommended to create a zip file with the
modules to speed up the startup process. This can be done by specifying the
`--modules` parameter to `install.sh`, or by running `makezip.sh` after
installation.

See https://github.com/illinois-ceesd/planning/issues/26 for more details.

Is this potentially something we still need to worry about? If so, should we make an issue? (Or we could just wait until someone runs into it again I guess...)

We haven't really encountered this issue "in the wild" I think. Startup time is mostly determined by compile time currently.
