No, i didn't preload the scripts - I'm not familiar with the
technique, and it seems like there's enough dynamic fvariable-writing
and storage of html values done in the scripts that large chunks would
be unfairly 'written' and cause duplication.  Its a bad system design
for this volume, it should be filesystem cached static files that
update on change.  We're working on that.  one project at a time.  :)
