I am currently loading all objects with a Bold List Handle that loads
all instances of the root class in order to speed things up. This
takes about 10 minutes. We are running with a propagator on a server.

I have a user that runs a HUGE report first thing every morning for
the simple reason that the program runs faster after it has been run.

I think that lazy evaluation - while good- is causing a problem here.

Is there a way to tell the Bold Engine to go ahead and calculate
everything that needs it in the background now, thus saving the lazy
evaluation for things that have changed rather than things that were
loaded at startup?

I expect I can build some code that looks at all of the derived
attributes and forces it that way, but I am hoping there is a better
way of doing it.

If I have to resort to 'brute force', what are the ramifications of
checking derived attributes during OnIdle.

Also, I saw something about FetchLinksWithObjects. The documentation
was sparse. Has anyone used this? If so, is it a call you make at
the beginning and it behaves that way for the rest of the run or do
you call it more often than that.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
