In fact I thought that it was almost all from the caching (I had a vague
memory of having attempted to use --without-xim in the past and being
disappointed with the speed delta).  Since you asked, I re-ran some tests,
and realized that most of the speedup is coming from the --without-xim.
The caching now makes about 5-7s difference on different runs, although I
suspect the difference would be more pronounced as the emacs session got
longer.  Right now I'm just doing a:
time emacs -f save-buffers-kill-emacs
with and without -q.  Is there a standard way to time emacs sessions?
(other than using gprof, which I suspect would not be very useful, given
the X delays).
