After upgrading my OmniGraffle Wireframe Palette a few months ago, I noticed it loading really slowly. Upon inspection, I found that it was abnormally large and subsequently found the icons to be the culprits.

I do not have the time to organize the icons in the same way as the original but it is close enough.
