Performance test various options for modularization, DCE, minification.

[fuzzyweapon]

NMI - come up with runtime performance metrics with Nick

KPIs/tests

• build execution time (of steps directly involved)
• JS output size
• TBD

Testing Conditions

• same code (acornui and mpc)
• clean runProdJS for each test (unless otherwise specified)
• non-debug & assertions disabled
• built from command line with Gradle's --include-build (aka Gradle composite build)

Cases

some solutions are already in place, aka implemented

• [ ] webpack development test - debug runJS without assertions, with webpack (can debug easily?)
• [ ] modularization contenders - jquery vs webpack =>
  • [ ] jquery (in place) + uglify (not in place) + Kotlin DCE (in place)
  • [ ] webpack + uglify + Kotlin DCE
• [ ] modularized vs unmodularized - [modularization winner] vs unmodularized
  • [modularization winner]
  • [ ] uglify + kotlin DCE
  • [ ] GCE
  • unmodularized winner
  • [ ] uglify + kotlin DCE
  • [ ] GCE
