Interesting. 

I thought that percents were cumulative, so `org-in-block-p' accounted
for 16% - 1% and `org-inside-LaTeX-fragment-p' 25% - 16% of the total
time.

Generate a warning about plain footnotes deprecation ? How do you turn
it off ? Do you require the user to set some variable to a non-nil value
before Org's initialization ? IIRC Magit did that at some point and
I found it annoying.

Note that we cannot turn it off automatically due to false positives
(i.e., we cannot decide if there are obsolete footnotes in the document
or something looking like them and yet perfectly valid in the document).
