Thanks for the pointer. Now I think I understand the reason for this
behaviour: Guix has to compile the whole set of modules, including all package
definitions, and it is rather slow at that. So I guess I won't expect
significant improvement in the near future, but at least it's not an issue
with my particular installation!
