On the topic of compile time speedups, a long time ago we got a nice boost in 1443252 [0] by marking some central classes `final`. (Meta is 1332680 [1])
gcc supports the -Wsuggest-final-types but I don't think LLVM does - so if anyone happens to have a kind-of-working gcc build of Firefox, you could try this warning and see what it spits out today.
