And another data point and some explanation.
Using -Q -nw instead of just -Q:

so roughly 40% less mark_object calls.

Why?
Although I use LANG=C, when using the X11 version (with this font:
-b&h-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-normal-sans-12-120-75-75-m-70-iso8859-1)

these charsets are read during startup:

emacs/etc/charsets/MULE-tibetan.map
emacs/etc/charsets/MULE-ethiopic.map
emacs/etc/charsets/MULE-ipa.map
emacs/etc/charsets/symbol.map
emacs/etc/charsets/JISX0208.map
emacs/etc/charsets/GB2312.map
emacs/etc/charsets/BIG5.map
emacs/etc/charsets/CNS-1.map
emacs/etc/charsets/KSC5601.map

and it seems that creates a lot of lisp objects.
Is it necessary to read all these charsets?
Creating that many lisp objects has second order effects on GC speed,
and cache performance.
