Uh oh!

I asked Claude to checkout a couple of ideas into cutting notebook startup time. Of all the ideas I had, there seemed to be two which stood out as making an impact.
Cache Dependancy Resolution
It appears that ammonite has something built-in, but it is disabled in the presence of hooks, which Almond always sets up. Claude's claim si that dependencies re-resolve themself every time and all the XML parsing does actually eat up some wall clock time. The proposal would be to setup something like a persistent "Version Set" cache in the user local. In my tests this shaved about 0.6s off the second and subsequent execution of the first cell.
I haven't put up a PR to almond itself because it's kind of messy and entirely vibe-coded, so here for discussion first. Happy to submit if there is appetite.
Project Leyden
Shaved about 1s (off of 6s) but I don't think it's possible to actually ship this as part of Almond itself? Filing here for posterity or future idea generation - Claude wrote up a script which (seems) to do some of the lifting of a training run.
