NING needs to cut back on the Javascript Carbohydrates!

[0x000000]

Damn it's slow, you guys/gals notice this? pretty annoying if your into the-freaking-flash-navigation-cat-skills and all. Feels like I'm driving with my foot on the break all the time. On a refresh it fetches nearly 1.8MB. Time to pack those dojo files, or at least switch to jQuery or the likes.

Hmm, i don't see any speed related problems with ie7. Have you plugged internet cable into right jack? joking.

you joker :)

[Petko D. (pdp) Petkov]

dude, what type of connection do you have ? :)

[Sam Aldis]

works fine on laptop and desktop computer
under firefox 2/3, IE 7, Opera and Safari.
but goes a bit slow on my ipod touch.

Fine for me, but I'm on OS X (FF3.0b) behind a T3, lol... But I see the sizable fetch. It's a bit much for going mobile at times.

20MB connection, Firefox nearly crashes when setting focus to a simple NING textarea for example. Pretty horrible. Firefox cache is now 6.5 MB on 4 page views :S

Ouch... I can feel your pain. That's like browsing from my phone... :\

Well, just did a speed test: 9821 Kb/s, not too bad actually.

Which version of FF you are using? FF2 is ridiculously slow. FF3 is the way forward.

I agree... the CMS is bloated with prematured JS stuff... but you can deactivate parts :)

I. e. Google Analytics... THIS defitly doesn't belong here. You know why.
