[Orgmode] htmlize slows org export down?

[Stefan Vollmar]

Hello,

I am currently writing a tutorial on Python for beginners, and I have  
numerous paragraphs like this:

#+BEGIN_SRC python
from xturtle import *
...
raw_input()
#+END_SRC

Using version 1.36 of htmlize.el (already compiled) this will be  
rendered beautifully when exporting to HTML. However, it seems that  
each of these SRC-blocks with syntax highlighting slows the export  
down considerably. OK - the whole export still takes less than 5  
seconds (yes, I know...) - but it is so much faster without the syntax  
highlighting (and 5 seconds is a long time for a modern machine). Is  
there a way to speed this up? Split the document? Use some sort of  
caching?

Many thanks in advance.
Warm regards,
 Stefan
