Comment (by SimonKing):

 One remark on the reliability of the startup_time plugin:

 With the previous version of the patches, we had:
 {{{
 -With 25% confidence, startup time increased by at least 0.25%
 -With 44% confidence, startup time increased by at least 0.1%
 +With 82% confidence, startup time decreased by at least 0.5%
 +With 97% confidence, startup time decreased by at least 0.25%
 +With 99.3% confidence, startup time decreased by at least 0.1%
 }}}
 Hence, we had a significant speed-up of 0.25% of startup time.

 With the current version of the patches (which only differ in the removal
 of one doc test, but there is no change in the code!!), we have
 {{{
 -With 25% confidence, startup time increased by at least 0.25%
 -With 44% confidence, startup time increased by at least 0.1%
 +With 85% confidence, startup time increased by at least 0.5%
 +With 98% confidence, startup time increased by at least 0.25%
 +With 99.4% confidence, startup time increased by at least 0.1%
 }}}
 Hence, we have a significant slow-down of 0.25% of startup time.

 But since the code didn't change, perhaps it isn't significant, after all?
