Can you give an example of an EU program that has a slow load time?

The load time wouldn't change very significantly anyhow, because the 
processing would be bypassed in the 1st run, and the syntax checking 
would be bypassed in the 2nd.

If the only thing that RDS did, was add a second pass for syntax 
checking, even if it can be disabled, I say forget it, but if RDS can 
use a second pass to optimise runtime code, then I'm all for it.
