I'd think in this case, accuracy would be rather _more_ important, as
long as --help isn't `excessively' slow -- and dynamically generating
--help improves accuracy.
As for what `excessively slow' is, my opinion is that 1 second to
display --help on a typical machine would be absolutely fine; 10
seconds, well, maybe that would be too slow.
On my machine:
time emacs --batch -l ~/.emacs -f kill-emacs
takes about 1.5 seconds (due mostly to my huge .emacs file).
