That's consistent with my 0.9s for 200 packages (tho not with John's 1s
for almost 400 packages), but it of course depends a lot on the details
of your machine (e.g. mine is almost 10 years old, John's is only 3).

Note that my attempt to bring it down to 0.1s circumvents all that code
(or rather, pre-runs it offline to generate a single "mega-autoloads"
file, so that activation of all packages reduces to loading that one
file).
