I tried your example on Emacs 29 and Emacs 28 (both optimized with
native-comp).

On Emacs 29 I got (0.315444431 17 0.154982815)
On Emacs 28 I got (0.17239349 11 0.088822737)

To make sure that different Org versions do not interfere, I also tried
emacs -L /path/to/org/latest/main/branch/lisp -Q

with compiled Org repo (I ran make to compile Org into .elc)

On Emacs 29 I got (0.311368927 15 0.14880696)
On Emacs 28 I got (0.133921351 10 0.076385214)

with uncompiled Org report (make clean; make autoloads):

On Emacs 29 I got (1.040857068 41 0.5445397559999999)
On Emacs 28 I got (0.5897047940000001 28 0.337317824)

Clearly, compiled Org version can be loaded fairly fast on Emacs 28 and
not so fast on Emacs 29.

For comparison, I also tried

(benchmark-run 1 (describe-variable 'emacs-version))

On Emacs 29 I got (0.076433304 4 0.030115377999999998)
On Emacs 28 I got (0.081279133 3 0.035413045000000004)

I consider the last test to represent the compiled built-in help-mode.

org-mode loading is just 2x slower than help-mode on Emacs 28.
Not so great on Emacs 29, but it is something about Emacs 29 rather than
about org-mode. Do you have any ideas?

Best,
Ihor
