Any chance of including at least part of the model definition?

Hi Sam,

Sorry, the model definition was in the linked repository, but I've updated the Gist above with the Model definition too.

Not run any tests yet, but I do know for a fact that Time.parse is legendary for its slowness. Try removing that to see if there is any change in performance.

The Time.parse part is only on a save, so that shouldn't affect the speed when loading in a list of documents. Any suggestions on how to standardize dates instead?
