Okay, RFC DoC version 1.8 is uploaded now.
It's different from the current SVN version in that it's free of all the mess in the main folder and contains its art in an FPK file instead of folders, which should make it faster to load. You shouldn't expect meaningful updates to the SVN in the next days so I suggest you download the packaged version if you experience speed problems. There's no need to delete your SVN folder in that case, simply rename it so installing the packaged version doesn't overwrite things.
