// From Laszlo: If these settings don't give you an improvement, 
// you could play with the "content." and ".initialpaint.delay" 
// settings. As said above, I got the best results by keeping them 
// in synch as in the given example (750000 and 750) while setting 
// "max.tokenizing.time" to a multiple of "switch.threshold" 
// (greater 3; with the values of the above example: 
//  3 * 750000 = 2250000, 4 * 750000 = 3000000, ...).
