I know. Don't feed them through an 8.3 filesystem. ;).

Right now I sleep a second every time. The real problem is that the 
javascript timeout is the closest thing implemented to supporting thread 
processing in javascript components. All javascript code is executed in 
the same thread (including chrome javascript I believe) so it's not 
*really* multithreaded, hence slow.

You can open MAF MHTs in IE and it'll work. Basically MHTs encoded by IE 
will be slow to open in Mozilla. MHTs in Mozilla will be fast to open in 
both Mozilla and IE. They will open properly either way.
