I'm sure I got this code from someone else, was going to replace it with (emacs-init-time) myself but I suppose it's nice to only have the first two numerals after the decimal point which this code does and (emacs-init-time) doesn't.

Funny, coming back to this, if I recompile without native compilation and any other flags, I get faster startups. By upwards of 1 second. (So, from almost 2 seconds to almost 1 second.)
An emacs -q startup is roughly the same. And I maintain that many things feel snappier with the optimization flags.

Apropos of the path: have you tried setting your path in, say, `.zshenv`? When I started using that, I was able to shave off a significant amount of time because Emacs didn't have to fire up a full interactive shell to grab the env vars.
That said, I'll play with it some. Still looking for a broader benchmark, though.
Edit: Looks like I lied. Startup is about 2 seconds, but is mainly dominated by a network hit to refresh packages. (So, slower if I'm on a bad network... I should fix that.) Your script, though, is odd, as I can get to the Messages buffer and wait a second before I see that message show up. (Also, you can just eval (emacs-init-time))
