Yes, it's a large stack, if you mean does it have a lot of objects, 
etc.  No graphics stored in it, they are in a different stack.  I've 
been in this stack many many times, and it did not do this before. 
I'm always making changes to it, and the only change that may cause 
this is the addition of a large number of additional objects.  I'm 
not sure if the slowdown occurred right after the addition of objects 
or not.  I'd been noticing it recently but brushed it aside as 
something I would deal with "later" as I was focused on other changes 
to it.  Later is now here :-)

It does not have any substacks, but is a substack itself.  And always 
has been.  When I did notice it, I assumed it was a countdown code 
that I had recently added but had not refined.  But when I went to 
refine it, I discovered that the handler had not been called upon, 
and could not be causing the slowdown.  I double checked.

Wouldn't the alwaysBuffer affect how fast it loads?
