Are you running Executive ? I don't experience any kind of sluggishness
and the gadgets are responsive.
That's unlike any MUI code that stops reacting to gadget clicks when the
machine is busy.

of the waiting times since page display starts as soon as data exists and
several URLs are resolved in parallel.
Obviously it cannot magically speed up the datatypes that render images.
