Another update that might be of interest (if not, tell me :-) I just went through my first round of code optimisation. Parsing speed has improved considerably, especially for "older" browsers: Firefox 3.6 now parses [[Paris]] in 10 sec instead of 32 sec (YMMV). Also, it is now loading the wikitext and the image information from the API in parallel, which reduces pre-parsing time. For small and medium-size articles, editing in WYSIFTW mode now often loads (and parses) faster than the normal edit page takes to load (using Chrome 10).
