Can you enable ELP for just 'format', use Emacs for a few hours as you
normally do, and then report how many times, and how much time, is consumed in
its use? I'm not really interested in benchmarks that stress format. If the
time advantage is lost in the background noise, I don't think it's worth
changing.
