That's not a very good test file, because you just need to unfold the
main headline to get all headlines visible.

I tested with a test.org file using this structure:

* Test
** TODO Test
*** Test

repeated 10k times.  Then run emacs -Q -l ~/test.el with the
attached test.el file, I get sensible results here.

I don't think it varies depending on the Emacs 23 vs 24 version,
but I believe we are using the same.

PS: I will revert `org-agenda-inhibit-startup' to nil as a default
and will explain why in another mail.
