   Hello.

   Thanks for this excelent work. I've used Crayon for a long time and can't blog without it now.
   But recently I found there's some performance issues about Crayon, which may slow down the page load. Unlike other syntax highlighter plugins, Crayon likely use more resouce.
   I use P3 (Plugin Performance Profiler) to test on my site. This is the report:

   Test 1. Crayon On, Capture "'pre' tag"
   All plugins: 0.726s, Crayon: 0.573s.

   Test 2. Crayon On, Capture "'pre' tag"
   All plugins: 0.651s, Crayon: 0.515s.

   Test 3. Crayon On, DO NOT Capture "'pre' tag"
   All plugins: 0.382s, Crayon: 0.156s.

   Test 4. Crayon Off
   All plugins: 0.168s.

   From this report, it's obviously Crayon use 3 times more resouce than all the 17 plugins I installed (especially when 'capture 'pre' tag' turned on). I think this could be a problem. Any plan to optimize it?

   Regards,
   David Pi

   This is actually not that bad, considering just WP-Syntax here. You'll find that the other plugins are usually not doing anything complex or anything at all and are sitting idle hence their low times.

   I think 0.2 seconds is pretty good compared to 2 seconds on the same page, no? I made some small improvements however :)

   Thanks Andrew, I'll look into the path name issue.
