I don't know what that means in practice, sorry.  Michael, can you
help?

Please tell what was the previous HEAD against which you measure the
performance.  The latest change in eldoc.el was on Feb 23 and was
related to obarray changes; I find it hard to believe that change
could have had such an effect.  The change before that was on Jan 20.
Both are outside of the "within a week" period you seem to be
referring to.

A recipe to reproduce the problem starting from "emacs -Q" would be
nice.
