    I'm sorry Flaming Parrot, we're going to have to ban you under the Computer Misuse Act (Section 4: excessive use of smiles)

      On that note, seriously, would you suggest that the use of external animated smilies may be a culprit and if stopped could help speed up the hamster?

        That is a perfectly valid point. It actually improves stability more than speed but there is a performance benefit too. We had a client recently whose forum header graphic was hosted externally and it increased their site loading time by nearly a second per page but this is probably the exception rather than the rule!

                      Re: Slooooooooooooooooooooow!

                      Yep, the main page will still load the same, but it takes longer to load all the bells and whistles, we already know the news feed and twitter sidebar take an age to load, but theyre here to stay. May be time to reduce/compress the smilies or reposition the image files to optimise loading.

                            that is rather more dramatic a result than I would have expected. Are you sure there isn't something else going on?
