| 166161 | 2003-08-08 07:26:00 | paradise dial up (50667bps) -> smoothwall (proxy off, load average 0.08, 0.10, 0.07) -> me (mozilla 1.4, cache off, mandrake 9.1). trade me: 8 secs. nzoom: 28secs. pressfs (logged out, default settings): 15 secs. With caching on I got 4, 6, & 8 seconds respectively. PressF1 took a couple of goes. It kept getting stuck at "Waiting for pressf1.pcworld.co.nz...". |

| 166163 | 2003-08-08 08:15:00 | on paradise 56k, two tries at each: PressF1 = 10sec, 15sec. Trademe = 4sec, 4.5sec. Nzoom = 26sec, 16sec I was surprised at the result for Nzoom - I'm used to PF1 taking ages to load though. Trademe is always zippy, love it. :D |

| 166164 | 2003-08-08 09:41:00 | slingshot 56K, WinXP Pro, Mozilla Firebird 0.6.1, cache cleared, connected at 52Kbps: PressF1 (logged out - 15 topics showing) = 11.5sec PressF1 (logged in - 100 topics showing) = 20sec TradeMe = 10sec Nzoom = 31sec cached: PressF1 (100 topics showing) = 11sec TradeMe = 4sec Nzoom = 7sec PressF1 always takes a long time to start loading, but once it starts it speeds along nicely. With Nzoom and PressF1 it's the skyscraper ads that seem to hold the page up from finishing sooner (esp. PF1 as it waits to connect to the doubleclick server.) |

| 166165 | 2003-08-08 10:16:00 | I just tried pressf1 again, after being logged off and browsing elsewhere. It took 32 seconds! Another 25 seconds to open this thread. nzoom and trademe are still as fast as before. Are you sitting on the bottleneck Robo??!! J :D |
