Yes, definitely a lot of KBs, but when developing we had the debate on whether to compromise on the visuals and features to improve load times. Ultimately we felt the visuals are more important than the text, so we made the call. I think those on a slower connection are used to a little lag time, not just on my site, but on any rich site.
The only thing that really bugged me was the script firing onload, but now that I've solved that issue I'm happy with it. Even on high speed connections, anything delaying a full load (for example, a glitchy ad from our network which is actually quite common) would really screw the site. --Sean On Dec 8, 11:44 am, ricardobeat <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > That's a whole lot of KBs to load!
