This has not much to do with my thesis. I don't know yet whether I'll switch
to 1.5 at all. That certainly also depends on when 1.5.0 will be
released :-)

It is a real problem. Opening my thesis takes already 15 seconds. Currently
I can live with that because I don't need to to that so often.
Opening all child documents was accidentally caused by a natbib label fix
Jürgen and I were working on, and we got complaints (or did Jürgen complain
that I caused this? I don't remember).

As I wrote: I don't want to push these, but if somebody has a nice idea how
to solve the remaining issues it could be possible to finish them with
little effort.

Only the effort it takes to create one. Since I never did it myself I don't
know if it is much work.
