I'm not sure if it's known. But in general loading stuff off disk or spawning processes is slow in windows. But even on my fancy M1 mac, Org takes ~0.5 seconds to load initially. Assuming "emacs -Q". With some modest tweaks to org in my init.el it takes ~0.75 seconds to load Org initially. Not too bad, but Org's load time abuse is still firmly in the realm of human perception on the latest, greatest hardware. Here's a comparison between Org and Markdown modes initial load time on my M1 mac. markdown: 0.08 seconds org: 0.732128 seconds Sure it's a price you only pay 1 time per Emacs session. And it's somewhat acceptable on Linux/Mac. But Windows is still an important platform and 30+ seconds is just ludicrous.
