I think I randomly used progmodes/scheme.el, but added

(require 'gnus)
(require 'org)

at the start, and deleted gnus/*.elc and org/*.elc to slow things down.

Basically make the slowest compilation you can, so long as there are no
warnings. It seems to be right at the end of the compilation that the
flash occurs.
