That DetailsWidget list calls for 36 video Detailwidgets, each 
approximately 45 minutes. The first detailwidget I open, it is blank for 7 
seconds, then a black rectangle appears and finally the player controls 
appear *24 seconds* later. I timed it with a timer. However, every video I 
click after that is* instantly* available :)

If it is a tiddler with* just one video DetailsWidget* in it, the video 
loads instantly as well. But calling for *a bunch of video DetailWidgets in 
a list *makes the first video load for 24 seconds or more. (A list filter 
of video-modal links seems to have the same problem.)

This is a relatively new Tiddlywiki with not much in it yet, since I'm 
fixing it up for a blog. It's not my note-taking Tiddlywiki with thousands 
of notes.

Should I just accept it and try to put a splash screen in the DetailsWidget 
somehow? 

I tried putting 20 of the video DetailWidgets together in a list as 
separate DetailWidgets lined up (see below). It's weird. Sometimes clicking 
on that first video loads almost instantly. Other times it takes 3 seconds 
for something to appear, 7 seconds to load completely. 

<$details summary="TITLE 1">

{{VIDEO TIDDLER 1||VideoTemplate}}

</$details>
<$details summary="TITLE 2">

{{VIDEO TIDDLER 2||VideoTemplate}}

</$details>
etc, etc, etc.

But when I tried transcluding that tiddler into another tiddler, it was 
even worse, loading for almost 30 seconds.
