 Hehe, seems DD32 and I had a similar idea at the same time... Posting the
 reply nonetheless...

 Makes sense, yeah. What if we stored some kind of reference in a php file?

 On the first page load, we'd load WP in its entirety, and we provide a
 hook to add to the manifest. After outputting the result, we cache it (as
 a php file or a serialized array, stored in wp-content or wherever is
 appropriate).

 On subsequent page loads, that cached array exists, so we fetch it
 directly without bothering to load WP.

 WP could flush the file where it's the most likely to be needed (e.g.
 activate/deactivate plugin and theme). We'd also want a hook or function
 that allows plugins to force a flush in the event it's needed (e.g. a
 change of user pref).
