Re: Startup speed: Still too many stats?

I finally understand what's causing the difference between 21.0
and
previous versions: The organization of the Core Lisp directory has
changed. Previously, it contained *only* subdirectories.
Mostly subdirectories, but substantially, yes.
Now, it contains lots of files and only one subdirectory---term. So
all
this stat'ing is just for term's benefit.
O.K.
Options:
1. I hack as Hrvoje suggests.
I don't see a problem with his suggested hack.
2. We move the stuff from term one level up and change
`paths-load-path-depth' to 0.
This is what I prefer as this ties in with a package installation option
eschewing subdirectories and installing into one big package lisp/ directory.
3. We move the stuff in Core Lisp one level down (to "prim"
or
something) and presto.
I'm not sure what this would accomplish.
Of course, *I* would like 3. Steve?
#2 for the reason given above. We still have to handle subdirectories at
least one level down from <package>/lisp/.
