Improving outline-mode would probably be a good idea, *especially* if it
also benefits outline-minor-mode, but I think addressing (4) would be
beneficial for all Org users which might make it an even better choice.

I can't see any reason why it should take so freaking long to open
a *simple* Org file.

I think it "just" requires someone investigate where that time is spent
and how to reorganize the code so it's loaded&initialized more lazily.
