 This project is child from http://trac.buildbot.net/ticket/3148

 Goal is to investigate, and enhance the user experience when opening
 multiple tabs with buildbot nine.

 Tab loading must be as fast as possible, potencially reusing data
 downloaded and event subscribed by other tabs.

 When using the UI, users are often opening several tabs on a buildbot
 website.
 The connected character of buildbot nine will create one connection for
 each tab, This is inefficient user of the event system.


 This project will try as much as possible to use Prior Art, and existing
 libraries

 Examples of Prior Art:
