Slow loading times when translation

I have problems with the ts translator. The website has extremely slow loading time (up to 3 minutes) in the other languages than english. I've think that the .ts-file is loaded too many times and therefore causes the slowdown. I have updated the .ts-files with ezlupdate and there not missing any words and there isn't any obsoleted strings. I don't know how to solve this problem. The debug information is shown below:

Hello,

- Do you have mbstring support in PHP?
- Is the site just as slow on the second reload? The translation stuff will be cached, so you should only notice slowdowns on the first reload after installation or after a complete removal of cache.

In 3.5 however, eZ publish is capable of using PHP's XML parser if available. This makes parsing of .ts files _much_ faster. Have a look here: http://ez.no/community/blog/faster_xml

Yes.

Yes, it is just as slow the second time. The whole site is working fine except for an extension which generates some pages used as an installation for some software. It is not possible to use cache in this case because the pages need to be unique everytime.

I'm am aware of the .ts file in the "extension/Myextension/translations/" and it's fully translated and working perfect in Linguist.

I have found a solution for my problem: Simply diable texttranslation in the site.ini. When there no i18n, it's working fine, except the texts isn't translated :-(. Instead of using i18n for text translation I use a "translation object" for the texts and translates that object from the admin interface. Then I fetch the content of translation objects from the templates when needed.
