Re: Faster loading of sequence implementations

Hey slava, for perceived speed, what about loading the factor code in 
the environment and loading the documentation in a spawned thread? 
(which will end later in its own time)
This way, it would return immediately after the factor code was loaded. 
which is what the user was probably waiting for.
maybe it will produce a perceived speedup.
