> This PR improves the startup time for libgraal by speeding up how `VM.savedProps` is copied into libgraal. This data structure is now serialized to a native buffer directly from C++ and the native buffer is then directly decoded by libgraal.
> 
> ## Times
> 
> The basic benchmarking below shows that this change brings the time for a nop Java app with eager libgraal initialization (2) down to almost the same time as lazy libgraal initialization (1). The latter typically means no libgraal initialization happens as a top tier JIT compilation is never scheduled in such a short running app.
