I think that most users will forgive a slow process if it:

    * Happens in order to speed things up in the future.

    * Displayed an in-progresses percentage, or "x/y complete" while
      it's working.

If it doesn't break in any dramatic way, it would be great if you can
commit this so that people who use the browser (which I assume is most
of them) can play with it and provide feedback.

Other points:

    * Public facing features should be documented in the Fine Manual
      (TM).

    * Once it works resonably well, please add it to NEWS in "News since
      version 4.4"

thanks!
