I don't think there's any more to be done here. The addons manager has evolved quite a bit since this was first filed, all our startup data is now in a single lz4 compressed json file. There are a few auxiliary files that are not compressed but they are not read on the main thread and they are not performance sensitive so the troubleshooting benefits of having plain json outweigh any efficiency gains we would get from adding lz4.
