Hi Philip, I had researched these three calls with the "require 'info", and updated the patch for better performance. The 1 th and 3rd can be rewritten with the new form, but the 2nd one is necessary, and should not be changed. Please help review the new attached patch file. Thanks.

My configuration will load the package.el at startup, so I tracked the initial packages, and found the "require `info" will take ~1 seconds on my old PC. I didn't pay attention to other packages, if I found a heavy one, I'll post it on the mail list.
