I'm attaching an image showing both the impression/click data and a GTmetrix comparing my site vs my 2 biggest competitors and my friends X-Cart 5 site who's also in my small niche. (FYI - my X-Cart 5 friend is still working on his site so I expect his results to greatly improve in the future.)
Thank you so much to everyone on the X-Cart team, and to Phil for his reBOOT template! 
I hope showing this will help more XC4 users decide to upgrade.

You inspired me.. WHILE I did not upgrade fully to XC4.7.10, I took the optimization parts from 4.7.10 to improve the template loading since my install is very customized..
parts I used include:
1) files in \include\templater\plugins\
2) modded the skin\common_files such as meta.tpl and customer\service_js load..
3) added the new config values for speedup_js and speedup_css
added the \include\lib\vendor folder for the new minify
disabled the reboot minify script..
Page speed insights improvements for 4.7.7 and Reboot:
Before:
25 - desktop
4 - mobile
very bad!
After:
72 - Desktop
30 - Mobile
better.. could use improvement..
some inner pages hit 89 on desktop for page speed.
I code alot of sh*t and don't recommend trying this at home..
