For the OP, instead of evaluating every code block, it is possible to
evaluate just one code block.  I have:

# Local Variables:
# eval: (esf/execute-startup-block)
# End:

in my org file with

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (defun esf/execute-startup-block ()
    (interactive)
    (org-babel-goto-named-src-block "startup")
    (org-babel-execute-src-block))
#+end_src

and so only a block named startup will be executed.
