All the profiles posted there end prematurely, thus making it
impossible to make independent conclusions regarding the possible
culprits.  Would it be possible to post here a full profile,
completely expanded, obtained after loading all the relevant *.el
files as *.el (NOT *.elc!), so that the profile is detailed enough to
show the relevant parts?  It would make the discussion much more
focused.

Bonus points for posting another profile, where the feature you think
is the main culprit is disabled.

TIA
