This together seem to imply, that the time is spent in one of the
after-make-frame-functions.

Have you done this with 'emacs -Q --daemon' ?

elp-instrument-list won't allow to profile all functions,
but you can do it anyway. Expect your emacs to be broken
afterwards.

(progn
  (require 'elp)
  (elp-instrument-list
   (mapcar #'intern
           (all-completions "" obarray
                            #'(lambda (sym)
                                (and (elp-profilable-p sym)
                                     (not (eq sym '+))))))))
