Loading elns quite stress also the reader that is still used to
deserialize all objects except functions.

The fact that the load is that slower on Windows seems to indicate that
the equivalent dlopen dlsym are less performant than the other systems
we have tried (the reader should be quite the same).

That said there must be a way to profile on Windows so we get a picture
of what is going on.
