OK, but why is that a problem?

What I see in the profile is this:

  . json-parse-string takes the lion's share of the CPU time, which is
    expected;
  . some byte-compiled function takes another significant portion of
    CPU time; to see what function is that, load the relevant Lisp
    code from a .el file, instead of from .elc file, then re-run the
    profile

Actually, I'm not yet sure what to reproduce.  I'm probably missing
something.
