Is it normal for include to take a long time? I have a file, say model.jl that includes only functions and the following header:

using DifferentialEquations
using Parameters
using Gnuplot
using CSV
using DataFrames
using LinearAlgebra
using ForwardDiff
using ProgressMeter
using DelimitedFiles

but include("model.jl") in a fresh julia takes about 48 - 60 seconds? Why does it take so long to simply bring functions into scope? I have no globals.

julia> @time include("model.jl")
 48.162177 seconds (89.10 M allocations: 4.882 GiB, 4.22% gc time)
ngm2 (generic function with 1 method)

where are all the allocations coming from?

@time begin
using DifferentialEquations
using Parameters
using Gnuplot
using CSV
using DataFrames
using LinearAlgebra
using ForwardDiff
using ProgressMeter
using DelimitedFiles
end

how long does this take in a fresh REPL?
