It seems to be just very slightly slower; but it might also be too small
of a difference for my system to give a polite result.

With above my startup is currently repporting times all betweeen ~0.2x
to ~ 0.3x; with your version it is aroun ~0.3 to ~0.4 I measure 5
startups every time. 

I don't see reasons why there would be a difference; it might be just
fluctuations in my system. I dont' know how polite (emacs-init-time) is
either.
