I think this is the main cause of the performance difference, but just
to make sure, does
raco make <myprogram>; rm <myprogram.zo>; time racket <myprogram>
take ~4 seconds, where <myprogram.zo> is in a "compiled" dierctory
relative to <myprogram>?
If so, then the solution could be to use `require-input-port` on a port
that has bytecode for <myprogram>, instead of the program source.

I'm stumped here.
I can imagine a problem where the "language implementation" is in the
reader, in which case it wouldn't get run when loading from bytecode,
but that doesn't explain why `racket <myprogram>` works --- unless the
initialization is also triggered by a `main` or `configure-runtime`
submodule, which would be run by `racket <myprogram>`.
