Not sure how I missed that... Taking another look at this. Why not throw away the code if it's hardly measurable? We could make it a no-op in Emacs 30.1, and then just remove it from the manual. It's already been obsolete for three major versions by then.

Hmm... isn't it marked obsolete already?

The manual says:
_Experience shows that using dynamic function loading provides
benefits that are hardly measurable, so this feature is deprecated
since Emacs 27.1._
Stefan M, any comments here? Is it time to actually mark this stuff
obsolete?

Hi,
In Elisp manual, "17.4 Dynamic Loading of Individual Functions"
describes `byte-compile-dynamic' variable.
However, according to the docstring, this variable is no longer useful
byte-compile-dynamic is a variable defined in bytecomp.el.
This variable is obsolete since 27.1; not worthwhile any more.
Value
nil
It looks like the corresponding section of the manual is now obsolete
and should probably be removed.
