Since that screenshot is sorted by the 'Self' column, it means 'the amount of 
memory taken by a function', so drupal_load() uses 16.22%.  

Looking at that chart again it would have been more meaningful to sort by the 
'Incl.' column which means 'the amount of memory of the overall lifecycle'. 
Then we can see that call_user_func_array(), node_page() and 
node_page_default() need to be analyzed instead and drupal_load() really 
doesn't seem to be a bottleneck. 

Of course I can't lay any claims to being an xdebug/kcachegrind expert and 
xdebug 2.0 beta may still be buggy.
