I agree.

Yes. The reason (IIRC) is that whenever we use EntryAttributes to get the 
phrase that a certain strong's number's word is translated with, Sword 
actually RENDERS the text, applying all filters etc. That is a very costly 
process, and therefore we need to change this to run once and feed it into 
another index. But that will come later. For now an option to toggle would be 
nice.
