I (still) cannot speak about ido. But Tramp 2.2 has been rewritten for
Emacs 24 to load only the minimum part at startup. More Lisp objects of
Tramp have been moved to autoload files.

Running this recipe with Emacs 24.0.90, I don't see a serious delay due
to Tramp. Do you still believe we need to fix something?

Best regards, Michael.
