Description

### Describe the feature here

reloading a relatively simple Camel route is taking 6 seconds (on my machine).

a log is suggesting some ways to have small changes ot be faster (like in my case changing the content of a string in a log message):

```
2025-11-07 18:02:58,992 INFO [io.qua.dep.dev.RuntimeUpdatesProcessor] (Timer-0) Live reload took more than 4 seconds, you may want to enable instrumentation based reload (quarkus.live-reload.instrumentation=true). This allows small changes to take effect without restarting Quarkus.
```

(and yes I realize that there can be a lot of different use cases and a lot of work but maybe some quick win available?)

Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported six-second reload for a simple Camel route and examine the RuntimeUpdatesProcessor log and the quarkus.live-reload.instrumentation setting mentioned in the issue. Establish which small route changes should reload faster, then define and measure a successful improvement; the issue currently names no files or tests.
