Kyle, yes MV is thrashing the system.  These initial pages are not fly, but static.

I have my test system right next to me and it is idle.  I reference the the page containing
the mouseovers and almost immediatly 4 MV perl processes fork and the disk thrashes
unbelievably.

Using the exact same page in MV with javascript disabled produces immediate page load results
and using the exact same page outside of MV loaded immediately with javascript enabled.

Thanks.
