But here, only 2.05 seconds more overhead - which is almost exactly the same as the 1.52 seconds overhead for -mule -vanilla plus the 0.6 seconds more that the non-mule version took as well..... Looks to me that once MULE gets initialized, its performance isn't that far out of line - but there's that big 1.52 seconds OINK at startup. Odd indeed. I'd have expected a much bigger total hit for processing the non-vanilla version with mule, especially when your init.el is big enough to double the startup cost. What I'm seeing there is that the CPU costs for processing the init.el is almost a dead heat to within the /bin/time resolution, the CPU pain is all up-front.
