The files Emacs loads when starting up under Debian are in the
directories /etc/emacs*/site-start.d
Most of them are just stubs that add directories from which to load the
real library later, via the autoload mechanism. So there's not much one
can cut there.
Some packages (the ones whose maintainers haven't bothered to read the
policy documents or look at best practices) have the performace bug of
loading real code at that time. If you find this, just file a Debian
bug against the package.
This question would perhaps be better asked on the Debian specific list,
debian-emacsen@lists.debian.org
