Noted, thanks, this has still to be addressed.

Good find, thanks ... this is caused by the fact that as of this beta each
attempt to open a file causes a call to the frontend that has to be replied
to (the frontend controls locating files and granting access permission, and
in the long term - once support is added - can even send the file contents to
the backend via POVMS).

Obviously this has to be made more efficient; for some reason  the results
aren't being cached though they are supposed to be (stackergold's use of
macros causes a lot of file access).
