List of some of my speed improvements (to be expanded):

• https://github.com/WPAFC/afch/commit/602acb0627a3dc06fb96b6fcbed83943f93440d7 -- combine regexes
• https://github.com/WPAFC/afch/commit/3704e1db06d3dc5bf4b07c8b8be09e89495e2306 -- just use {30,} rather than complicated length checking and whatnot

In my tests we've gotten the initial loading time down to 350-370 milliseconds, and around 280 of those are spent in API requests -- this is really good, and quite an improvement from the 800-900 it was taking just a few weeks ago.
