;; 1352 abbrevs
(dotimes (i 2) 
  (dotimes (j 26)
    (dotimes (k 26)
      (define-abbrev emacs-lisp-mode-abbrev-table
      (concat (char-to-string (+ 97 i))
              (char-to-string (+ 97 j))
                    (char-to-string (+ 97 k)))
      "who cares"))))

M-x write-abbrev-file  ; takes no measurable time for me
