locale.module multiple translations in one request

I'm finding translating my site to be very slow. The process I'm following is:

1. search for string to be translated. Ie; "blog"
2. click the "edit locale" link next to one of the results.
3. enter the new string.
4. click the "save translations" button
5. php times out.

Repeat for each instance of the word "blog"

Here is a proposed solution:
1. Search for string to be translated. ie; "blog"
2. select the check boxes next to each of the results that you would like to change.
3. click a "translate" button.
4. on one page displaying each original string and an entry field for the new string, update the strings.
5. click submit.
6. php doesn't time out.

If I haven't said it enough. I think the locale module rocks!
