Things got very slow: profiler output

[William Denton <william@williamdenton.org>]

I rebuilt Org and Emacs from the development trees and something is wrong, because some Org files I use regularly have become incredibly slow to use.  I rarely use the profiler and don't know what to make of what it says, but I opened a file and ran it while I moved around and expanded and collapsed some headings for a minute or so.  (It was so slow that it took me a minute to do what would usually take me a few seconds.)  I'll paste the results below.  Does that say anything useful?  There is a little LaTeX in the file but not much.

Any help on interpreting this would be welcome.  I can try reverting to an earlier Git commit tomorrow.
