Speed up rendering of an icon

Problem/Motivation

We have a form with several micon fields on it. This field is inside a paragraph, so it can be added multiple times. When adding another row, it takes a while before the row is added. Eventually, the web server will break off, because adding another row would take longer than the max execution time.

I have tried tracing this down and found that rendering the micon item is done quite often. After adding private variables (for the markup and json outputs), the total time of the request went from 25+ seconds down to 1 second.

There are more issues in our platform regarding to performance, and this was one of the improvements I found :)

Steps to reproduce

  • bonus initial step: have a big platform that is slow already :)
  • Add a multiple micon field to a node
  • Open the edit form of a node with a few items in the field
  • Add another row to the field

Proposed resolution

Add local caching of the markup and json output.
