Description
It seems like the same scripts p5.min.js, p5.dom.min.js, p5.sound.min.js, loop-protect.min.js, hijackConsole.js are reloaded everytime the play button is pressed:
This should not be required, and loading them once would improve performance.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue by pressing the play button and inspect the browser's network activity for repeated loads of p5.min.js, p5.dom.min.js, p5.sound.min.js, loop-protect.min.js, and hijackConsole.js. Trace the play-button loading path and confirm that each script is loaded only once while sketches still run correctly.
