You didn't expand the profile.  All those lines which have a "+"
before the function's name are "folded", and you can "unfold" them by
going to the line and pressing RET.  "C-u RET" will unfold _all_ such
folded lines, and you will see the detailed profile of
command-execute, which I think where the problem happens, and where
you will find the loop that checks messages (or a function that runs
such a loop).

That could help, yes.  But before that, I think a fully expanded
("unfolded") profile of the current version is needed.

It is also strange that GC takes such a large proportion of time.  It
is possible that the slowdown is because some subroutine makes much
more garbage than the previous implementation did.
