Thanks.

This report needs more info:

  . the file you used which produces this slowdown
  . the profile is not fully expanded (some functions have "+")
  . for more detailed profile, please load the relevant Lisp files as
    *.el (not *.elc), and repeat the profiling
  . if the slowdown is visible in "emacs -Q", the profile from that is
    more important than the one from your customized Emacs
