It seems that after browsing/posting for 10 minutes or so, any subsequent posts take at least 30 seconds to a minute to complete, and during the wait my browser is conveniently locked-down and whited-out so I can't do anything at all. Perhaps this is an odd marketing scheme to get me out of firefox, and over to Chrome where I can continue to use other tabs while C9 munches on its own tab and not the entire browser itself?

I'm not sure what causes the hangs. However, the pages could be loaded faster if the scripts were compressed. This page alone has 716K of scripts.

Why do they use some kind of ajax type functionality to change from page to page in a topic anyway?
This is overkill and not what ajax was originaly designed for.
ajax and other "no reload, download stuff in the back, insert into page" technologies have there uses, but this isn't one of them!
Don't get me started about what happens when you turn javascript off! -

Both the web dev toolbar and firebug give me the compressed numbers.
If your requests are coming in with the right non-IE6 accept headers then the JavaScript files might be passing through some HTTP proxy on the way to your browser that's leaving them inflated...

Give fiddler a shot. You can use it with IE7, Safari - anything that will let you use a proxy for HTTPS?.JoshRoss said:

"yeah that's awful close, but that's not why I'm so hard done by"
If that is the case, then the 190kb is what is going across the internet to you, and the larger # is just between you and the proxy...JChung2006 said:

I couldn't agree more. And to top things off, the ajax used here doesn't really make the site more user-friendly, or increase usability. If anything it make sthe site harder to use, slower to respond, buggier in navigation, etc.turrican said:Perhaps offtopic, but imho C9 is waaay too "ajaxified"...
If you're going to use ajax, use in in a way that is necessary, and increases productivity. Please don't use it "Just b'cause".
Also, c9 team, please don't mistake my words. I deeply appreciate the hard work all of you put into this forum, and look forward to many more years here. -

I am going through ISA. Strange.JChung2006 said:*snip*I have been getting inconsistent results on the homepage from our ISA Server lately, where rarely the results are compressed end-to-end and most times they're not. No ideas why it's happening but it used to be consistently compressed traffic between the outside world and the ISA server and uncompressed traffic between the ISA server and internal hosts.
Even with GZip compression, with that much script, we're taking a hit on client-side performance with just JavaScript parsing, execution, and DOM interaction. With Mozilla and Google raising the bar on JavaScript performance, I hope that the IE and JScript teams will step up their game for their vNext's.

They have so far. Have you tried IE 8 Beta 2? Very fast (like FF 3 and Chrome).

I've tried IE 8 beta 2. It's comparable to Firefox 3.0 and Safari 3.1 for JavaScript performance. V8 (Google Chrome) and TraceMonkey (Firefox 3.1) outperform it for JavaScript code, but the network I/O and DOM interactions (layout) on Web pages render those benefits mostly moot anyway. I'm not sure how SquirrelFish (WebKit 4.0) compares.
The JScript team is making up lots of ground, which is encouraging! For years, they were pretty much the worst for JavaScript performance. It wasn't that it was especially bad (except for the memory leaks), just horribly neglected. They've even patched IE6 JS enough so that Gmail will continue to support IE6 as a platform - New Gmail Code Base Now for IE6 [Gmail Blog, Google]

Yah, JavaScript performance is important, but there are many other factors too. I think IE 8's doing well because they've improved performance across the board, not just JavaScript. It makes doing ajax feel better and better. If all the major browsers are now going to be relatively fast it'll open up new opportunities for developers.JChung2006 said:HumanCompiler said:*snip*I've tried IE 8 beta 2.
