The site still seems very fast to me. I've cleared out my cache and done a reload. Pretty fast from here.

I was going to suggest using PHP with either passed parameters on the URL or (/and) custom ID tags on specific pages to delineate which section you're in and then change the navigation appropriately. You should be able to keep your nav in its own file which will help additionally with load times - because that file will get cached.
