Yes that was supposed to say *time*. The "Test patch" helps the files load
faster!

That's what I was thinking. (And if so would it be a worthwhile to provide the
user an option to disable intermediate updates?)
This is the weird thing. There really was nothing else chewing up any CPU
cycles on the laptop I was testing with. I alternated files with each test (I
would choose the 2nd most recent file on each test). I did eventually realize
that when an "outlier" would happen there was a subtle difference in how the
GUI responded to the click on the filename. The first few times I was so
caught off guard with these outliers that I wasn't prepared to pause the
stopwatch! In total I probably opened each file 50 times or so.
Tomorrow evening I will to do some additional testing (perhaps with some bigger
files). I want to replicate these results.
