	Of course, it saves time for the preloader itself ;-)

	I have a photograph of this happening in callgrind here:

	I think it's safe to say that a full-blown XML implementation is not
really necessary for reading a few simple .server files; we should
prolly switch to GMarkup.

	It's what you'd expect really I guess, b-a-s doesn't actually do
anything at all complicated itself.

	HTH,
