Well testing with Tex2002ans's huge testcase of merging all those chapter together and loading it which includes spellchecking, I compared two versions of Sigil.
One checked the stopWords list first and the other did not.
The timings to load and spellcheck that huge merged chapter were almost identical.
8.5 seconds on my laptop for both.
So the overhead of checking for stop words just compensates for any speed-up in handling those words.
So it is not an effective speedup.
Thanks for the stop word list links. I will keep them in case there is another way they could be used.
