[texworks] .bib files slow to load

[Kyle Woodward]

Thanks. Switching to the dev version sped up .bib loading considerably. It
still seems slower --- I haven't formally timed it, but a 43kb .bib loads
more slowly than a 160kb .tex (with a .pdf loading simultaneously), but now
the difference is a second or two and not 3-10s.
