This is the most likely explanation - the docs are merged together on 
startup (so that they can be added to by third-parties easily).

Script only stacks have no effect on load time - they are just a script 
which is set as the stack script of a stack when loaded.

I also doubt that (given the small number of controls involved) the 
creation of UI elements on-the-fly is having any measurable effect.
