The suite layout system is very powerful and very convenient.

Unfortunately, it's slow.
I shaved a perceptable amount of time off the constructin of a dialogue
box by building buttons by hand rather than calling suite.

Perhaps the problem is that in order to do even the simplest thing 4
reasonably sized objects must be dynamically loaded.  I'm not sure if I
would want to increase runapp by 100 K to enable statically linked code
for convenient button creation.

What are the bottlenecks here?

How can I help suite get higher performance?
