Re: Loading souce Elisp faster

[Richard Stallman]

    In any case, this is not relevant to the question at hand, which aims to
    completely side-step find-file when `load'ing a (utf-8) .el file.

Since decoding utf-8 is not in general trivial, that's not a trivial
thing to do.  On the other hand, if the default encoding were
utf-8-emacs, that would make it trivial.  Maybe in that case
it would be possible to just read the file.
