I don't quite understand this one.  Yes there is a couple of seconds delay
before the settings window comes up, but considering it's a very complex
requestor with 11 windows that need to be configured with the prefs data, I
don't find it unusual.  Once it's open, everything is quite responsive,
regardless of the screen type or number of colors on my 3000/25/Picasso.

After all, once you've set things up, how often do you have to change the
settings?  I can however see that it may in some cases be useful to have
the ability to save/load different prefs files, and that is on the wish
list for future versions.  BTW, one simple way around that limitation for
the time being is to just setup another copy of AWeb in a different drawer
with it's own settings.  I have one that runs on the Workbench screen and
another that uses it's own screen and customized palette.
