Homepage now loads fine. Instead of up to 12 secs, now under 1 sec.
(however, i've obviously lost my custom layout)

I put one widget back in the 'homepage' (random video block) to test the speed.
It is taking on average 0.4 secs to execute , which is crazy slow.

Please fix this asap. Something must of gone wrong in a recent update.
Theme was working fine a couple of weeks ago.

Thanks.

ps. @brian mike - hope this helps ?
