Performance has dropped considerably. It's very frustrating. This is a very critical issue.

It's no slower or faster then it was a few months ago as far as I know ?

I don't see a difference on my platform either.

I see a major difference when running locally. Will eventually cause major issues, even on fast servers. Really annoying.

Are you on Windows, perhaps? I've noticed before (in a different project) that Windows has horrible performance when it comes to filesystem searches.

I currently don't have access to a Windows development box so I can't verify this, but could you try hg revision af0ac13f34c5 or later? It might improve the situation somewhat; I've managed to reduce the number of stat()-operations in the form of file_exists and is_dir from 1035 to 203 on the assessment view page.
This didn't hurt performance on NetBSD but it didn't improve it much either (12 milliseconds before, 4 milliseconds after). I expect it to be similar on other *nix platforms.

I also noticed that there's an enormous number of CSS files that are included. I count 74 different "aqua.css" files on the assessment view page; each component provides its own version.

This could be quite a bit of overhead too if they all have to be checked and possibly loaded, especially on Windows servers.

On my local machine I noticed that the source loads almost instantaneously, but it's mostly the extra assets that take up all the rest of the time. Perhaps that's another thing you can test; try "view source" and see how long it takes to reload that.
