Thanks.

I have seven agenda files, all not too big (~10K on average), and I use
an averagely performant computer (5 years old dual core laptop). For
me, the difference between `org-agenda-inhibit-startup' set to t or nil
is not noticable at all. In both cases, it's less than a second, and
that's a time I can easily live with.
So if one asked me, I'd say the default should be nil. Probably, it
would be a good idea to list and explain all such performance
optimization options and their implications in one central place in the
manual ("Speeding up org on slower computers"), so that people having
performance issues can easily find these knobs.
