We burn a bunch of cycles at startup just creating and populating temporary export holder objects in defineLazyModuleGetter calls, to say nothing of other Cu.import overhead. On my machine, it looks like caching the temporary exports objects saves about 30ms of startup overhead.
Is this as simple as making defineLazyModuleGetter do a Cu.isModuleLoaded check and if it's true call Cu.import directly instead of defineLazyGetter?

Hm. No, that's a separate issue, but it's an interesting idea. Defining and then redefining lazy getters tends to get fairly expensive, so that might speed things up even more.

Kris, do you think you'll be able to get back to this some time soon? Should it be qf:p1 or is it more of a qf:p3 thing?

I wound up fixing this in ChromeUtils, so these patches aren't necessary anymore.
