Follow-up to #57: the Re-measured at 12fab4b section of doc/PERF-URDR-RESULTS.md still says the remaining start-up cost is a flat profile with no hot spot left to cut. #57 cut it, so that section is marked superseded on the start-up side and a new section records what was actually there (the compiler, 964 invocations per warm boot), the load-invariant 964 → 17 result, and the interleaved timings with the load-average caveat.

Docs only — no code change.

…ection (#46)

The 'Re-measured at 12fab4b' section's conclusion — that the remaining
start-up cost was a flat profile with no hot spot, and that closing it
meant an image rather than micro-optimisation — was right about the
remedy and wrong about the diagnosis. A sampling profiler saw list
primitives because the cost was spread over hundreds of identical small
operations; timing the boot by phase found what those operations were:
the compiler, invoked 964 times from inside a warm boot.

Records what each of those 964 invocations was, the load-invariant
964 -> 17 result, and the interleaved timings, with the measurement
caveat that this box ran at load average 10-18 throughout.
