If pages are included either directly in a testpage or through ScenarioLibraries test execution is slowed down significantly. The deeper the level of nested pages, the more it slows down. This seems not to be solved by using the new renderer, I use a very recent codebase (20111003).

I have today seen an example of a suite that runs tests at a rate of 0.2 seconds per test, if I add a ScenarioLibrary that has nesting 4 levels deep, even if my test do not need any scenario from the library it still slows the test execution with approx. 7 seconds per test.
