Before giving the results, let me tell you I've now tested as well with the
laptop being "powered" or not. That does change things in a factor "1 to 3".
However, still far behind Nick's results.

Here the results of the jury (elapsed time of `org-agenda-to-appt'):

    | commit | date   | time (not powered) | time (powered) | ratio |
    |--------+--------+--------------------+----------------+-------|
    | f52600 | Jan 26 |              19.27 |           5.56 |   3.5 |
    | 0cf717 | Jan 21 |              19.74 |           5.84 |   3.4 |
    #+TBLFM: $5=$3/$4;%.1f

These are the means over a couple of tests. But the maximum variance (over
that small number of tests) is only about 0.04 s -- in powered mode.

That is: yes, things are better, up to 5%. But, on this example, not quite
significant... ;-(

FYI, I tried the ultimately current version (f518bc8) but there is a parsing
error in `org-e-odt.el' -- I guess since commit 35f944a of this morning?

Best regards,
  Seb
