Performance Overhead
Is this expected load time overhead with caching enabled for Pulsestorm Launcher? It's almost more than doubling my page load time in the sales order grid as an example.

Your faith that there's an expected load time is appreciated, but misplaced :)
No extra caching has been applied. The launcher uses an extended Mage_Adminhtml_Block_Page_Menu class to generate the information it uses to build the default JSON embedded in the page. If you were interested in fixing this the _renderDefaultNavigationJson method in app/code/community/Pulsestorm/Launcher/Model/Observer.php is the likely culprit, and it's return value could easily be made cached.
Awesome, thanks for the pointers. I'm hoping I'll find some time to dig into that. I've been using the module in my local for a week or so now and am starting to depend on it for quick navigation :) I'd like to roll it out to production and get the entire CST team and stuff able to use it.
Kalen, were you able to track down the additional performance problems you saw?
No sorry! I haven't found any time to dig further into this so I haven't been using it for a bit.
