I'm not sure what conclusions to draw from here (but, again, this is on
my home system which seems much faster than my office system despite
being a slower computer with less memory etc).

And in mine, next-line is >50% of the time with the remainder being
org-agenda-do-context-action.  What does this mean?

In any case, I will try all of this on Tuesday on my office system.
