Hi!

I'm maintaining an Emacs batch application, e2ansi (*).

I just noticed two problems when using Emacs 27.

1) It prints a lot of output, whereas earlier versions are quiet. The
output include tons of "Loading xxx..." but also the lines "dump mode: nil"
and "Using load-path ...".

2) Startup times has increased from 0.11 seconds to 2.36 seconds.

To test this, simply run:

time PATH-TO-Emacs --batch -Q

I'm using a prebuilt Emacs from "emacsformacos.com". I've tested the
official Emacs 26.2 and the latest Emacs 27 "nightie".

(*) e2ansi adds syntax highlighting to pagers like "more" and "less" in the
terminal. It starts an Emacs in batch mode, run font-lock and renders the
highlighted result using ANSI sequences, which the pager presents. It can
be found at https://github.com/Lindydancer/e2ansi

Sincerely,
    Anders Lindgren
