That's the goal, yes.

I don't see why we couldn't keep these times, or come close, if your
disk is flash memory. I got 0.2 sec with a real disk, in a 32-bit
build with wide ints, and that was without any serious attempt to find
the hot spots and optimize them.

Yes. Instead, there should be mostly Lisp code to produce a single
.elc file for all the preloaded stuff, and calculate values of some
variables that can only be recorded at build time (like
source-directory, for example).
