What makes you think they haven't benchmarked?
Here's one fun example from following development on Zulip: advapi.dll loads bcrypt.dll, which loads bcryptprimitives.dll. bcryptprimitives.dll runs an internal test suite every time it's loaded into any process. So if you can avoid loading advapi.dll, your process will start faster.
