Even Linux clipboard offers several formats if I copy from browser.
After M-x yank-media, I get "Several types, available, choose one:"
prompt, with options to choose from png/pbm/xbm/xpm/jpeg format. I
guess it is also tiff in your case. Just choose another format in that
prompt.

As it usually goes with the config, it can be anything.
Use profiler to reveal the cause.

One blind guess could be that Org mode loads more built-in libraries
(like yank-media library) now. So, loading might be slower. Not sure
about 0.4 seconds slower.

In future versions, I have a plan to rework the way Org mode loads,
aiming for faster load times among other things. (this is annoyingly
difficult task; like 300+-commits-and-no-end-in-sight level annoying)
