On x86_64, I’ve run:

  ./pre-inst-env perf record guile -c '(use-modules (gnu packages libreoffice))'

which shows mostly GC activity, along with symbol interning activity:

What’s the deal with ‘%load-announce’?  How many times is it called?

Only 370 times.

Hmm could something be wrong with the mapping of instruction pointers to
source code location?
