It is free, as are the add-ins (so far). The main reason it's this slow is two fold. It's still relying on the old markup format and editor and more to the point, plugins in the cloud product are "outside" the core system such that I think to render content it actually has to ship the content over via a web service call to the plugin and then the plugin responds with the data.

You can see it launch all these separate requests when it loads. The server version obviously runs macros "inside" the system. If I had known that would be the case I probably wouldn't have gone down the tab road to start with.

So, it's not CPU, it's network, too many round trips.
