Profile rendering can be slow

My profile takes a while to render. I think unpacking all the partials is the problem; we need to profile it.

    Markdown might be the bottleneck. Take a look at Moving Past Bluecloth.

    It looks like there's no low-hanging fruit. Markdown isn't the bottleneck. It just takes a while to render the walls and recent activities. Caching those is impractical since they have a time_ago_in_words for the created_at, which isn't cacheable since it's updated on literally every page view. For a system under very heavy load, we could use memcache with a periodic cache expiry, but it's not worth the trouble right now.

    Since the current performance isn't horrible, I think it's best to punt on this for now. Maybe if a user runs into problems with bigger traffic we can work together to speed things up.
