    <p>Hi,<br>
    </p>
    <p>Here is a first analysis using QgsRuntimeProfiler outputs</p>
    <p>The project is the same in all tests and has been saved with Qgis
      3.26.  <br>
      This is a first load in each case just after qgis init, so there
      should be no caching involved.</p>
    <p>Output has been filtered to `projectload` profiler group and rows
      with elapsed time > 0 <br>
    </p>
    <p>All builds are official builds and installed from qgis.org
      packages. <br>
      Tests are run in Docker container with ubuntu 21.04<br>
    </p>
    <p>Total time show a variance of +/- 25% on multiple runs.</p>

    <p>Some remarks:<br>
    </p>
    <p>I Wonder why we have `Creating auxiliary storage` that takes 
      65.0 ms in Qgis 3.26 and it does not appears in Qgis 3.24:<br>
      I need to figure how auxiliary layers are loaded in Qgis 3.24 (are
      they loaded lazily ?).</p>
    <p>The `Reading project file`, `Reading properties` and `Reading map
      layers` sections are almost 3 to 4 times slower in Qgis 3.26.</p>
    <p>The loading of layers ares also slower in Qgis 3.26 compared to
      Qgis 3.24.</p>
