Totally agreed, some of that has already been started with the more 
efficient xmlrpc loading and such but there could be a LOT more. We 
should start by identifying functions which are only used:

* In the admin
* On feeds
* On pages with comments
* On pages with posts

Loading all the files and functions WP uses is the single biggest 
overhead right now according to the profiles I've run.
