Now all this is by virtue of Debian packaging adding loads. I did not

Perhaps this happens in a file like /usr/share/emacs/site-start/site-init.el

Next, you can try Jari Aalto's tiny-load: http://tiny-tools.sourceforge.net/
It loads packages during idle time. I use it in
http://emacro.sourceforge.net/
However, sometimes it seems that interrupting the load stops it.

While it is popular to compare Emacs to vi, I believe that it compares more
to Eclipse or Visual Studio, each of which take at least 4x as long to load
:(
