I will do that, but the main problem is not the loading speed. 
The real problem is that the image blows up (i.e. crashes) when a browser is 
open because it runs out of memory.

But yes, I will make a ticket and get some more profiling with that so we can 
fix it.
Right now, I have to tell my co-workers to close all browsers when they do a 
full code load interactively... it works but it's a bit ridiculous ;-)

cheers
Johan
