The bottleneck for place startup is loading modules into the new place, including modules like `racket/base`.
For example, (place-wait (dynamic-place 'racket 'void)) takes around 200ms on my machine, while (place-wait (dynamic-place 'racket/base 'void)) takes around 30ms and (place-wait (dynamic-place 'racket/kernel 'void)) takes around 10ms. It sounds like you're already aware that the complexity of the module loaded into a place matters, though. Beyond using a minimal set of modules, I don't have any way to make place startup faster.
