Already is...

Can you be more specific?
Is it slow for you all the time or only when I update templates?
Apart from the known slowdowns during this operation, weblate doesn't
run on the final hardware yet, we'll have a dedicated machine to run
the translation services on, so performance overall should be a bit
better - but if you experience overall slowdown, please let us know
for what operations exactly.

No, don't add it yourself, I added translation memory from pootle, but
he way weblate makes use of it doesn't scale for large projects like
ours.
It is again more suited for many little projects. In other words:
Translation memory view is slow and also matches way too loosely to be
useful.
Translation memory will be handled by a separate translation memory
server that we'll hook up to weblate.

What is in weblate is the translation history/cross-referencing of
other same/very similar translated strings.

No, don't wait with translation - 6.4 translation is already in
weblate, there won't be another way to translate for 6.4.

6.3 translations are so far still on pootle, but will eventually also
copied over to weblate instance.
