I'm glad it's not too bad (right now the static file serving is very badly
optimized). There are some optimizations in, but we also do lots of unnecessary
IO operations for each request.
We won't do further optimizations on this before TC 4.0 is released, because we
might get rid of the whole resources package after 4.0 (more on this after M5 is
out).
