Hi DM - I know this is an old message I'm replying to - we were discussing speed-related issues when I was initially working on SlyVote.  I was curious if you had ever found anything that might help the speed issues we had noticed?
Not too long ago, I had made an update to dd_lightbar_menu.js so that rather than having to add/copy all the menu items into the menu object, you can replace a couple functions (for the menu to get the number of items and to retreive an item for display & it return code), so a menu can basically access another source of items. I originally did that for my message reader, but I then updated SlyVote to do that, as I think that might provide a bit of a speed improvement.
