An entirely unscientific test (sitting in front of the computer and counting) yields ~4s for loading the UserGuide before applying the patch and ~13s afterwards. There is some additional debug output, but I don't think the resulting scrolling in the terminal accounts for all of those nine extra seconds. So please: Produce some numbers showing that there are no inacceptable regressions wrt to performance. A performance degradation by a factor of 3 for loading documents does not look like a good start. Andre'
