Just for infos sake.  I installed efs with 20.0 just to see how it
went.  (Haven't gotten to 20.1b1 yet) And yes.  The difference in
loading times was very large.  My .emacs setup is fairly complex, and
It loads around 40 different files (one for each major programming
mode and other major packages).

There was a very visible change in the speed each file was loaded when
efs was loaded.  If it wasn't the file loading messages flipped by at
2 a second or so.  After efs was loaded it took 2-3 seconds for each
file to be loaded.

Jim

PS: And I was doing "(require 'efs)".
