Hmm, That doesn't entirely shock me. a p2-400 will take longer on the
xml import. There may be some ways to cache that but, it's unfortunately
the nature of the beast. However, once the metadata is loaded the
depresolution should be much faster and it's memory footprint
considerably smaller.

run in debug mode 4 and you'll see two numbers print out right before
and after the dep resolution.

Those will be start and end times on the dep resolution functions.
