Avoid loading (i.e. executing) elements until they are needed.

Currently, every element definition (ui, updates, etc.) needs to be read / executed before the application starts running. For larger applications, this may negatively impact startup time considerably.

Find a way to load the app incrementally.

One option could be to go the way react avoids execution of module code until necessary. When the code is bundled, it still needs to be parsed by the runtime, however no module is actually executed unless needed. We would need to organize registrations slightly differently to do this.

Another way, perhaps more generic, is to utilize dynamic imports. This would inherently allow WebPack to do code-splitting efficiently. Support in RN needs to be investigated.
