The load times on some core packages were reduced by an order of magnitude this month. For example, RecursiveArrayTools went from 6228.5 ms to 292.7 ms. This was due to the new `@time_imports` in the Julia v1.8-beta helping to isolate load time issues. See https://github.com/SciML/RecursiveArrayTools.jl/pull/217 https://github.com/SciML/RecursiveArrayTools.jl/pull/217 . And that's just one of many packages which have seen this change just this month. This of course doesn't mean load times have been solved everywhere, but we now have the tooling to identify the root causes and it's actively being worked on from multiple directions.
