I guess the one-second delay is when you load org.el for the first
time.  Right?

That's indeed a problem.  My plan for Org 8.0 is to put org.el on diet
and to modularize it more so that loading the minimal set of feature
should not cause such a delay.

In the meantime, I'm working on a patch that simply reformat entries
in etc/NEWS so that each headline takes only one line.  This will let
people turn on org-mode if they want.
