If the proposed dumper works reliably and quickly and portably, Emacs 
should be in a significantly better place than it is now. So in that 
sense this is not the wrong direction.

Perhaps you're right and making lread faster would work better. However, 
nobody has implemented that. If someone does implement it we can switch 
to it later, regardless of whether we use the proposed dumper in the 
meantime.
