Parsoid currently does a lot of MediaWiki API querying at startup to get
the current wiki settings.  As a one-off service, this makes it rather
sluggish.  (We have a `parse.js` test binary that lets you experience this
for yourself, if you like.)

I think it's more reasonable to embed v8 into PHP (or vice-versa) an an
extension which lets us amortize this startup cost over a number of
requests.
