Description of the Issue
Per the conversation on c64b81e, the update-from-model algorithm could be made more efficient.
Currently, v8.8.9 adds about 30-60ms each load compared to v8.8.8, because it has to parse the entire model file before determining whether or not to update the active stylers/theme or langs file from the model version.
Describe the solution you'd like.
By using file metadata to determine the date of the file, instead of parsing the entire model file just to get the attribute, up to 60ms could be saved every load of the application.
