I've tried that now, and I observe that the "real" component varies
between 145 and 200 ms (without decreasing or increasing tendency;
it's kinda random).

I don't understand such big difference with the previous measure.

In any case, the total bootstrap time keeps about the same: about 15 min.

I don't know what's the best way to measure execution time from a
cmd.exe shell.  I've written this script:
  @echo Start %time%
  @C:\emacs\trunk\bin\emacs --batch --eval '(message "Hello")'
  @echo End %time%

And I get this output when I run it:
  Start 21:33:04.25
  Loading macroexp.elc...
  End of file during parsing
  End 21:33:04.42
