AddonManager startup is the biggest single chunk of time we spend in JS at startup. A lot of this is in the system add-on bootstrap code that run, but a lot of it is overhead in the AOM itself.

Not sure if it's related, but if we could get a fast-path (or cache) of registered langpacks, we would save some time that we spend on language renegotiation that happens currently due to late registration of language resources.

I'd have to profile to see how much that would help, but if it would, we could probably make it happen after bug 1358846 lands.

https://perfht.ml/2BHa7nQ shows ~2.4s spent for add-on manager startup on a cold startup profile on a slow machine with a nightly from 2018-02-13. Hopefully this gives ideas about where there's still room for improvement.

The vast majority of this is still from system add-ons, with the Form Auto-fill and Pocket being by far the worst.

This also affects GeckoView. During GeckoView startup we spend 260ms in AddonManager startup (on a Moto G5). This code is on the critical path during the "App link" startup scenario - it delays the initial page load.

Profiles: https://perfht.ml/2QtHocL (0.4ms interval) / https://perfht.ml/2xSYRFj (5ms interval - less information, more realistic timings)
