i moved all dictionaries (except wordnet) to a disabled dictionaries directory in /koreader/data/disabled_dictionaries and it seems like sdcv really appreciate it. what's interesting is that in the koreader settings i told it to *only* use wordnet and none of the other dictionaries but it seemed to ignore that directive because when i physically moved the other dictionaries out of the path where it could see them lookup times via koreader were almost instantaneous. could this be the issue?

i've never seen lookups so fast! amazing! could my selection of available dictionaries i had previously be affecting lookups speeds (even though i told koreader to ignore them)

PS: is there any way to make the formatting more beautiful on the oxford advanced dictionary? seems very dense and could use some nice formatting but not sure how to adjust that
