That's strange that page reloads are slow to the point that it's
slowing you down... I'm using Webrick and the response time is fairly
quick. What type of hw/sf platform are you using?

If you want to experiance some *real* pain try installing BEA Weblogic
8.0 on your system. It takes almost 5 minutes to start the workshop
app on my home system (1.2 GHz) ....
