Mine took a alot longer... but it's just the pagelist lookup
on the FAQ page... other pages load fairly quickly.

Nothing wrong... PmWiki ran incredibly fast on my 233Mhz machine...
except for the pagelist thing on the FAQ page.  Any reason why
you single out just that ONE page?

Did you notice how fast the other pages load? (less than a second
or so probably?).  Right?

Hmmm... it's primarily the FAQ page... it does a search/extract, I
would expect it to be slow (took probably 20 seconds or more on my
box to render the FAQ page).
