The scheme code (style sheet) is actually compiled after it is loaded, so
it probably won't be hard to write the "byte code" (Insn objects) out to a
file and read it in the next time the style sheet is needed. But I don't
know how much time that would save in comparison to the actual grove
processing/fot construction. In fact, we could mmap the compiled code and
run it directly avoiding to build the Insn tree in memory

A way to check if this would save time is to log what jade is doing
"parsing", "compiling", "building fot"... (Poor man's profiling) Anyone
with an enough slow computer who want to do this and check?
