With all macro'ing tiddlers closed and all of the sidebar macros placed in sliders, it's pretty zippy! Thanks!
And being able to minimize it to the system tray and being able to use Firefox while I wait for it to 'compute' are definite improvements. Long term, the scalability issues will need addressing. I'm sure I'm not the first person to think about this. Could you point me or recap any other discussions any of you may recall here on the list? I'm using the search function, but haven't found much yet.
