Hi Noam,

Thanks for the tips. One (package-earlyload) is to put package-initialize
before custom-set-variables, another one (package-lateload) is to put
package-initialize after then custom-set-variables. I attahed the diff of
the trace-log.
The trace-log from package-earlyload has less do-after-load-evaluation
items which are supposed to be loaded during the package-initialize.
However, it still takes longer time for custom-set-variables  during early
package initialization.
The two items, mail-prsvr.elc and mm-util.elc are in earlyload but not in
lateload.
