Thanks.  I don't see eshell/cd anywhere in this report, so it's hard
to glean anything useful from the profile.

Please modify your procedure as follows:

  emacs -Q
  M-x load-library RET em-dirs.el RET
  M-x eshell RET
  M-x profiler-start RET RET
  ~ $ cd Programming/
  ~/Programming $ cd ..
  ~ $ cd Documents/
  ~/Documents $ cd ..
  ~ $ cd tmp
  ~/tmp $ cd ..
  ~ $ cd tmp/
  ~/tmp $ cd ..
  ~ $ cd Media/
  ~/Media $
  M-x profiler-report RET

IOW, start the profiler just before you start the Eshell commands.

If the results don't show eshell/cd in the profile, or if the
percentage for that is too low, perhaps repeat the recipe with more
"cd" commands.

Thanks.
