The load time for packages increased a lot from Julia 1.10 to 1.11 to 1.12-beta4. See: [Package load time regressions in 1.12 · Issue #57436 · JuliaLang/julia · GitHub](https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/57436)

I think this problem has mostly be fixed in two PRs:

- [shield `_artifact_str` function behind a world age barrier by KristofferC · Pull Request #58957 · JuliaLang/julia · GitHub](https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/pull/58957)
- [stored method interference graph by vtjnash · Pull Request #58948 · JuliaLang/julia · GitHub](https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/pull/58948)

The first one is already merged into master, the second one is not yet merged.

**My question:** Will these two PRs be merged and backported before the release of 1.12.0 ?  
That would be very nice. And thanks for the good work!

Both of them have `backport 1.12` labels, so it’s certainly the intent to backport them.
