Comment (by mwidmann):

 It's funny how I was reminded about this ticket in a talk about WordPress
 performance at WordCamp Europe last week. Too bad the video of the talk by
 @ottok  is not online yet.

 It would be great to finally have a good solution for any non-English
 sites as loading the MO files is the main performance killer in the
 WordPress bootstrap.

 @nacin 's idea of using hashs instead of the POMOs could be a good one for
 performance, but there would be the need for some kind of functionality to
 automatically convert the translated text-domains for each and all plugins
 on plugin activation (or on first access) to this hash because otherwise
 one single update would break all i18n in all plugins that haven't been
 updated yet.
