My point is that the easiest way to improve the user-perceived
performance of the system is probably to kill features.

Profiling is not going to help us see this.  It is merely going to help
us compare one implementation of the framework to another.  I am
suggesting that we may need to think outside the existing box to resolve
the issues described by Elana, and for this I believe that discussion is
quite important.
