Personally, I'm more concerned about scalability than initial load time 
(gzip seems to do a good job reducing that).
The TiddlyWiki client hits a wall if there's a massive amount of 
tiddlers to be processed (think for-each-tiddler operations like 
calculating the timeline, tags etc.).

Those should probably be considered two separate, though related issues. 
I guess the way to approach this is tackling load time first, then see 
what we've learned about scalability.

> distinguish two approaches to delayed loading of tiddlers

As discussed, I think that distinction is correct and important.
Even though one might argue about the semantics of "lazy" vs. 
"on-demand" loading, let's just stick to those labels for now and use 
"dynamic" loading for the more general concept.

I've tried to summarize the basic points raised so far on our wiki:

Well, you seem to be confusing store and story there.
However, you're indirectly raising the issue of a different store 
implementation (using JSON instead of HTML) - which might very well be 
worth discussing, though preferably in a separate thread.
