What are the real benefits of doing this? If this is to improve app
startup speed, is there any significant and concrete data showing that a
perceivable and significant increase in performance is made from this,
compared against the normal execution of various types of apps, not just
pure qml apps being run via qmlscene? Do we even have concrete profiling
data showing where exactly the slowness is for all these various types
of applications?

This seems like a very over-engineered and complex way to work around an
otherwise simple (albeit pervasive) problem.
