Hello Félix-Antoine, since there were only a few answers so far (which does not mean that your effort is not appreciated!), I'll do, even if my knowledge on the area you're working is limited.

Angus Leeming has written a forkedcall class for this purpose (it's in support/), which should even work on windows. Perhaps you can have a look at that and try to catch the attention of Angus, whose jet lag must be cured in the meantime. Also, I think you shouldn't check the whole document on startup at once, but just the content which is visible on screen and probably a few paragraphs above and below (that's probably what Lars meant). This is also the way graphics and previews are loaded. I won't comment on the code itself. Others are more qualified to do so. Regards, Jürgen
