since no one answered yet, there are some similar threads. IIRC the way
to go is to use elp for profiling.

Well, on my laptop the initial agenda run takes about 7s or so (150
agenda files) using the current day/week agenda ("a"). All subsequent
(after loading the files) agenda runs are fast (split second I would
say). I had some performance issues in the past caused by SCM. Emacs
tried to check if every file is checked out in the latest version. That
slowed down the process a lot (starting 150 mercurial processes in
sequential order, checking results, etc.). The initial run doesn't
bother me much. I bound the initial agenda run to an idle timer at Emacs
start.
