Is it me or is the site A LOT faster on Safari 5.1?

[LazarX]

Just installed the latest update to Safari updating it to 5.1 and I've never had a faster experience on this box.

Dunno about Safari 5.1 specifically, but a few days ago we did roll out "teh new hawtness," an extensive rewrite of the underpinnings of the website to make it more responsive. That might be part of what you're seeing.

The current release of Safari is 5.0.1 on Windows or OS X. It's so fast you're seeing version numbers from the future!

Is that the future where mankind has been wiped out by super-intelligent koala bears? Or the post-apocalyptic future where the remaining, lactose intolerant humans wage a war for survival against sentient cheese?

I got this update yesterday pushed out from Apple. You're right though it is 5.0.1

It's you.

The slowness of the paizo website and board is caused by a lack of servers and/or not enough bandwidth, and not your browser.

I thought I noticed things moving a bit faster. You are the man PMG! Or, at least the sentient program. Thanks for all your hard work in making this one of the best sites I frequent.

Very good, PMG.

Actually, if you're still seeing slowness, it's on your side... Gary's recent architectural changes, which have been in place for a few days now, have brought our response times down dramatically; our servers aren't even breaking a sweat, and we have bandwidth to spare.

It's just a ton faster period (and not a moment too soon). Well done.

Wahooooo

Although I never had any major problems. Maybe it's because I live in Alaska and checking the boards when most are asleep on the east coast and back towards the pacific coast.
