Aren't the UI layouts just loaded from file when required, rather than all being part of the large binaries loaded into memory at startup? If so, I guess there shouldn't be much impact on startup time. Complex dialogs might take a bit longer to load though.
Martin - any thoughts?

How so? Or rather, if the UI code needs time to compile won't that meant that we slow down Inkscape startup when using UI files in consequence? If the latter is the case wasting time in a one-time compilation for one person seems a lot better than slowing down every startup for every user (in which case I'd say a caching mechanism would be a minimum requirement)
