Yes for above, with configuration loaded. I can launch with emacs
--dump-file and it works in general, but there is problem with module
that I am using, I think that does not work if I use modules.

That is exactly my problem.

Could you tell or confirm my understanding if loading personal files
is slower than installing packages and then using package later
through autoload functions?

leaf is for now complex for me to understand. I need time to
understand it.
