Yes, but that's no big deal IMHO.  You'll see the raw source for a short
time also when the doc isn't cached already.

It'll also work, but chances increase that the page-setting is deferred
another fraction again.  I tried to set the value so that it's not
inconvenient but at the same time shouldn't need to delay again on
slower systems.
