Beschreibung

Atom had an interesting strategy for improving startup performance in their blog post here: http://blog.atom.io/2017/04/18/improving-startup-time.html

They are leveraging V8 snapshots to output a JS heap. This saves all the parsing and processing of JS, which is non-trivial as the bundle.js for this project gets larger.

There are some restrictions (V8 snapshots run in a bare V8 context), so it's important to have solid testing to ensure we aren't breaking anything in these cases.
