The following are obtained by running the mobilespec suite - all tests
The tests were run on a physical nexus 7

Summary:
* on Android , removing the xhr trims off about 250ms on load of mobilespec.
* the multi-file plugin loading takes about 1.6 times as long as a single
file

Details
In each case below:
* the first log line is written immediately on load.
* the second line is written when you press 'Automatic Test'
* the third line is written when you press 'Run All Tests'
The times are different because of caching that takes place, so the first
one is most interesting.

Case 1: This case is manually constructed, lumping all plugin js files
together.
With plugins loaded in a single file + cordova_plugins.js(no xhr):
- plugin loading took 211ms
- plugin loading took 56ms
- plugin loading took 83ms

Case 2: This case is what the 3.0 version did until:
CB-4016 / https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=cordova-js.git;h=0ce4718
With plugins loaded separately (about 60 files):
- plugin loading took 598ms
- plugin loading took 124ms
- plugin loading took 279ms

Case 3: This case is what the 3.0 version does after:
CB-4016 / https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=cordova-js.git;h=0ce4718
With plugins loaded separately *withou*t xhr (about 60 files):
- plugin loading took 336ms
- plugin loading took 112ms
- plugin loading took 260ms
