I tried to filter to only "timestamp" entries with the following:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (org-agenda-to-appt nil nil '(:timestamp))
#+end_src

But that does not work -- no error, but no event added to the appt list!

I must not understand the &rest parameter, I guess.

Yes and no.

Yes, because it's currently run at startup time, even if I put that command
inside an eval-after-load "org-agenda" (as `org-agenda' is ultimately called
when `org-clock-persist' is set).

No, because no running that does not change the fact that, sooner or later,
the Org agenda files will have to be loaded and scanned through.

Not having that done at startup simply _add_ another 16 seconds delay to the
computation of the first agenda view; not a gain IMO.

Are you referring to something in particular?

Best regards,
