I find this hard to believe.

Btw, you are aware that dumping *.eln files basically dumps just their
names, not their code?  And that, when you start Emacs after dumping,
it will load all of those *.eln files one by one, which takes time
(*.eln files are just shared libraries, like *.so files), and use up
shared-library and handle slots of the Emacs process?  So I'm not even
sure doing this would make sense from the performance POV: it could be
that startup will slower, not faster.

In any case, I'd suggest to get this working with *.elc files in a
build without native compilation support, before you try it with
native compilation.
