in my 9 days uptime session, I get (18.433154005 0 0.0)

from -Q I get : (7.823626407 0 0.0)

from a fresh emacs session where I forcibly loaded libraries similar to
my 9-days-old one, I get: (8.661741842 0 0.0)

Perhaps I should go back to optimized builds instead... other than that,
it seems that there is indeed a problem with the older session.
