Since this is glaringly inconsistent with the timings Alan published,
I think it would be a good idea to measure the difference for each of
the*.el files, because it could be that a couple of outliers skew the
entire picture.  That is, put the 'time' command inside the 'do', and
don't use -j8; then compare the outputs.
