Based on my own experience, I'd add that parsing a terminology
resource is a fairly simple operation, taking a trivial (i.e.
unnoticeable) amount of time on modern Macs.
Of course this is true, with your dual 1.2MHz G5 processors with a gig
of RAM.
The architectural decision to do this was made when the top-of-the-line
machine was a Mac IIci with 32Mb of memory. (That's a decent buffer
cache nowadays).
Back then, loading terminology hurt. Bad.
