From etc/NEWS:

  ** New option `load-prefer-newer' affects how the `load' function chooses
  the file to load.  If this is non-nil, then when both .el and .elc
  versions of a file exist, and the caller did not explicitly specify
  which one to load, then the newer file is loaded.  The default, nil,
  means to always load the .elc file.
