loading large patch

hi kurt !

i develop quiet large patches, and i didn't solve the loading time problem. it comes from the json format, which is very verbose (can i use this word like this?). that's why i think a binary format may be a good thing.

you can still trash what's in your max5 preferences folder... it will speed up things a little bit (but you will lose your prefs).

let me know if you find a solution please.
