Ah-ha, that does make sense.  However... I am hoping to use Slide in a more
"editorial" environment, where documents may composed from many "fragments"
then published to the runtime environment (which is where I worry about
runtime performance).  These fragments may well be imported in quite large
numbers (say between 10k and 50k at a time) and moved around a bit as people
decide how they want to use them.  This "bulk loading" and the editorial
manipulation are where my concerns come from.

Cheers

Andy
