Startup time's not an issue for me - it would be better, if the redrawWidget
bug was fixed, so my splash screen would display ;).  The real killer for me
is the animation speed.  It's painful for .skz files, but fine for non-.skz.
Although, having completely re-written my theme to accommodate .skz files,
and not being able to set relative paths properly, I'd be gutted if we went
backwards again.  Maybe you don't see the slow-down in animation, because
you've got a fast machine, but on my p3 600Mhz laptop, animation of lwp is
slow.
