Thats an awesome setup and very similar to the one I have. But damn triple-digit-ms does actually sound shockingly slow for what is effectively just heavy text processing. Is there a huge amount of text?

One of my more dubious design decisions (7 years ago...) was to inline all my images as base64 (I was originally planning on having only simple diagrams that would compress well, but this is less true now). I like that every page load generates just a single request, and that you can ctrl+s the page without any breakage.

I haven't profiled anything though, it could also be the syntax highlighting being slow (it generates quite a soup of HTML tags).
