I've done the performance measurements you've requested in Message-ID:
<address@hidden>.  For me, the "optimized" version is
by no means faster than the `org-agenda-inhibit-startup' set to nil.

If you reproduce the measurements on your machine and it turns out that
you get results inverse to mine, I'm happy to help debugging where the
differences come from.

My measurements were performed with my 7 normal agenda files + one
synthetically constructed.  1 top-level headline with 8000 child TODO
items, and then triggering the TODO agenda (and also the week agenda).
That's what you've requested in <address@hidden>.
