Hello Jean-François,
as Hans already pointed out, the size of the texmf tree matters.  IMO
it's not a good idea to change TeX Live's configuration.  You can't
achieve a significant improvement this way.  And please avoid
TeX-related environment variables whenever possible.
of course with ssd's and plenty of memory (so the OS can cache lost of files) things became less an issue the last decade
