No, but it’s true that it’s surprisingly slow to start:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ time ./pre-inst-env guix-package

real    0m1.084s
user    0m0.904s
sys     0m0.058s

$ time ./pre-inst-env guix-build

real    0m0.101s
user    0m0.081s
sys     0m0.017s
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Worth investigating...
