The lag I used to experience from the reloading of the secret images on each new page is NOTHING compared to the lag I'm experiencing now. Seriously, in the worst cases it's being thirty seconds and more.

I never read every comment regardless of the original secret. However, I DID read comments that did not regard the secrets I was interested in if the comments themselves were interesting. Now with the lag issue, it just takes entirely too much effort to read anything besides a very occasional comment thread. And here's the worst bit--the interesting comment threads, the ones with the most comments in them, are too hard to read! It just takes entirely too much time to expand it all. And god forbid if I wanted to comment MYSELF--hey, let's start the whole process over again. That'll be fun.

This is an entirely unhelpful comment. But I was reading what you were saying about the lag, and wondering what you meant by it because I haven't noticed an appreciable difference. Then I realised this is because it always takes a good four to five minutes plus several reloads for me to load a new F!S post with all its images, and the best part of a minute to reload for each comment page. For me the new system is a godsend.

Obviously, the fact that there are people worse off isn't actually any help to your annoyance with the lag, because you're used to decent speeds. But if it cheers you up at all, imagine those of us in countries with rubbish Internet weeping over the 126k loading speed. :)

I appreciate the sentiment

Only thing is... you've totally just defanged my argument now. I was gonna shut up about this pretty soon anyway, but yeah, if this new system actually causes you LESS lag, then I've got no more right to complain. Likely shutting up now. :)
