After elpafying muse-el I can confirm that muse-autoloads.el is
unsurprisingly still not byte-compiled.  Honestly, I'm uncomfortable
with changing the existing behaviour, because I'd rather not risk
introducing a change that could affect 109+ long-time muse-el users.
I didn't notice a difference in load time on my oldest Core 2
laptop...maybe this make a noticeable difference on the Raspberry Pi?

Cheers,
Nicholas
