I have my symbol libraries pared down to some 3900 symbols.

Loading the first time takes roughly 3-1/2 seconds.

The second time it will say “Loading symbols”, but what it’s actually doing is building the component tree.  This takes about 1-1/2 seconds.

I tried making the component tree static and doing a sync, but this only shaves about 1/2 a second off the time.

Maybe we need to show the dialog with just the libraries in the tree, and then load the symbols on demand?  (We’d probably need to load the first symbol of each library up-front to get the turn-down arrows, but that should be doable.)

Thoughts?
