Yes, that was the purpose.
However, if you do modify the file, on the next page load it will
automatically reparse it, which can indeed take some time.

It's on the cutting board for the next version. I'd switch to Fava
immediately and ignore it.

If you'd like to chip in to the documentation conversion, I started an
automated converter to markdown here:
https://bitbucket.org/blais/beancount-jsondocs/src/default/

It's incomplete and buggy (see the converted files), but I think a couple
of evening's worth of work by someone motivated could bring this to a
decent level and what I'd like to do is integrate it in this work and check
the whole thing in Beancount as the official versioned doc in Sphinx:
