You mean the other way around: the slower time is the one _with_ xref,
right?
Oops. Yes, it is.
Anyway, 9.5 seconds is a long time, especially compared to 1.87. I
think this calls for a more intelligent non-regexp-based solution.
I thought the same but describe-bindings-internal inserts
all keys and its commands. Unfortunately, it is a built-in
function. Hmm. I think I need function to return alist of
key and command.
