I understand that the order of variables set in let is implementation
dependent and the order of variables in let* proceeds from the first
varable to the last. It seems that for my (simple) projects that I can
get a lot of the defun's work done in the let* initialization part if
I use let*.

Is let faster than let* since let does not have to be concerned with
initialization order?
