We currently off-thread pre-compile JSM scripts into xpc::CompilationScope, and then clone them into the module's global scope before executing. This is still much faster than not pre-compiling, but in a startup profile on my developer machine, we still spend about 43ms before first paint cloning. If we compile into the shared JSM global instead, none of the JSM scripts need to be cloned, and we get all of that overhead back.
Although, it's probably worth noting that we'll still need to clone the script to execute in a non-syntactic rather than global scope (since off-thread decoding only supports the latter), and that may not be any cheaper.
I haven't done any talos runs for this yet, but when I test it locally, it gives a 30-50ms improvement on top of bug 1186409.

You didn't remove any calls to it. Also, is it okay to call this before the global is set up with __URI__ and so forth?

Urgh. I copied one more line than I meant to. > It is odd for CompilationScope() to return null when global sharing is disabled. You should rename it to something like SharedLoaderGlobal or make it return the default XPC compilation scope instead of null. Heh. I initially did have it return the compilation scope when shared globals were disabled, but decided to change it. I'm not really sure why. > Doesn't this mean you are calling this twice on the new global? You didn't remove any calls to it. Also, is it okay to call this before the global is set up with __URI__ and so forth? Nope, because now we don't set `createdNewGlobal` to when `reuseGlobal` is set. And, yes, it should be fine to call it before we set `__URI__` and so forth. Those don't really have any meaning for the shared module global (and don't get set on the global object for it anyway), and the debugger doesn't actually care about those properties, anyway. They're just there for the script being loaded into it.

It might make sense to get rid of createdNewGlobal entirely then, and just move the debugging hook stuff right next to when we create the global in PrepareObjectForLocation().

I was trying to minimize unnecessary changes, but I'll file a separate bug for this.
I just noticed this comment: // Defer firing OnNewGlobalObject until after the __URI__ property has // been defined so the JS debugger can tell what module the global is // for So maybe this shouldn't be changed in this way? Though it is just a bit weird in the shared JSM world, because set the __URI__ property on the NSVO, not the global.
Bug 986757 is where that comment was added. Maybe that will explain what is needed.

That doesn't apply to the shared module global, since we don't define a __URI__ on it anyway, and if we did, it wouldn't apply to any particular module. Bug 986757 is about the add-on debugger, which we don't have to worry about post-57 (WebExtensions don't use JSMs, so this doesn't apply to them). But even if we did, we still load add-on modules into their own globals, so the hook still fires after __URI__ is defined for them.
Ah, right, that makes sense...
