Just loading in the modules CSV and DataFrames takes up nearly 10 seconds, are there ways to improve this?

When looking for solution to this slowish load time I stumbled upon this thread, claiming Plots and DataFrames could be loaded in sub 1,5 seconds.

I’ve tried so far looking into precompiling modules/packages, but I would appreciate some help from a pro.

Best regards
