Running

(time (for-each (lambda (_)
                  (delete-duplicates (filter-map (lambda (module)
                    (match (module-name module)
                           (`(guix scripts import ,importer)
                            (symbol->string importer))
                            (#t #f)))
                    (all-modules (map (lambda (entry)
                                   `(,entry . "guix/scripts/import"))
                                   %load-path)))))
                (iota 1000)))

in a guix repl on my system results in

clock utime stime cutime cstime gctime
 0.96  1.67  0.07   0.00   0.00   1.19

If I'm interpreting that correctly that would amount to a couple of
thousands of a second per run

Kind regards,
