That's true... I'll keep it in mind to look at. Not sure I have the time right 
now though.

Realised what I was seeing (I think) was the block engine going through and 
refreshing all the cached blocks.

I think it would be useful at some point to turn on the debug in pslNew, and 
see if objects are being created sensibly. Seemed to me there's a lot of 
duplicate instantiation going on, and not just of slashDB (tho that's the one 
with the big implications).

Still, this has implications for how the basic block engine works - maybe not 
for now... I think it is due a revist tho - it's been with us since I started 
being interested in this project, way back in '00. 

One thought for example - I think it would make things run smoother if column 
was moved from block_options to being it's own field in psl_block - column 
has got a lot more central to PSL's operations over the years)
