Yes same here.

I think what make such a big difference is when saving hash-tables
instead of simple lists.

With:

(defvar my-big-list (make-hash-table :test 'equal))

(let ((i 0))
  (while (< i 10000)
    (puthash i (format "This is %d" i) my-big-list)
    (setq i (1+ i))))

(setq psession-object-to-save-alist '((my-big-list . "my-big-list.el")))

;; emacs-29: "0.758 s elapsed, 0 GCs, 0.000 s in GC, 0.758 s non-GC"
;; emacs-30: "0.016 s elapsed, 0 GCs, 0.000 s in GC, 0.016 s non-GC"

I will try to come up with a version saving (larges) hash tables as soon as
possible.

Thanks.
