we cannot easily do that lazily because otherwise we need a mutex for 
lazy initialization, which is exactly what we wanted to get rid of.

Having said that, I am surprised that you saw a noticeable difference. 
On most platforms there should not be dynamic frame registration at all, 
as the regular frames are directly read from the ELF data.

Can you please send me an precise description on how to reproduce the 
issue? (Platform, tools, a VM if you have one would be great). I will 
then debug this to improve the startup time.

Best

Thomas
