[kepler-dev] Caching of Data in Kepler

[Chad Berkley]

I used to do that and was running into random problems.  I don't think 
the startup time for vergil is too bad right now.  Maybe 5 seconds on 
my PIII-1.8GHz.  Maybe I'll try moving the init back to the first 
search now that I have a lot of the little bugs worked out.
