Building a sysimg for FNC #6

I noticed that you are suggesting PackageCompiler for accelerating the startup time. I am planning to teach a course with this book during Spring '22 and was planning to make a PackageCompiler script available for my students. From the manual, it looks like we just need the list of packages to include and a script to run. 

using PackageCompiler
create_sysimage(["Plots"], sysimage_path="sys_plots.so", precompile_execution_file="precompile_plots.jl")

Do you think that the main test file would be sufficient to exercise all the precompilation needs?

Did you resolve this to your own satisfaction? While producing the text, I used 

gr()
plt = plot(rand(10))
display(plt)
FNC.horner([1.0,2.0],3.0)
FNC.lufact(ones(3,3))
sol = solve( ODEProblem((u,p,t)->u,1.,(0.,1.)))

That was enough to make the startup experience much more pleasant. The tests don't include plots, which are in the top two most responsible (with DiffEq).
