loading the theme first into the plugin buffer means loading and parsing it twice, like I said before, there is just way too much pointer use to copy the whole buffer or resize it once its loaded the first time. We can't use the audio buffer for this, because doing that would mean wasting a massive amount each time a new theme is loaded (remember, there is no way to restore ram to the audio buffer.
