Hi Jeremy,
I did have a short look at the slider macro implementation. It looks, like the TW5 sliders also (like TW) prerender there content, even if it is not visible. This is no problem if you only have a view silders in a tiddler and the content is small.

but have a look at a usecase like this http://stevesuny.tiddlyspace.com/#journal .. There are a lot of sliders, that need to load a lot of content. Loading the journal tiddler on my pc needs allmost a second.

So I think displayed sliders can keep there content to cach it but "closed" sliders should render a tiddler only, when clicked. This would also create a smaller DOM
