Initially, it seems you're right.  My very basic timing (counting) using RT
3.0.9pre4 + SB 0.97_99 while loading the ticket seems to be about 4 seconds
faster (14 seconds vs 18).  Unfortunately, I'm having problems getting
MasonX::Profiler to work with these new versions; do you know if anything
would have changed in DBIx::SB that might affect this?  My reboot 'solution'
didn't work this time, either.

I was curious as to whether Mason auto-flushed or not (similar to PHP); I
guess that answers that.
Some observations: the first part of the page loads very fast (up to and
including the 'History' bar), then hangs while the history is being
formatted, it seems.  I think this will help people wait around, especially
for the shorter tickets, though.  Of course, this is using Mozilla as a
browser; I don't think IE will render un-terminated table's progressively,
though.
