it's taking a moment to render even once I've saved it onto disk. I'll have a play with it as I have too much time on my hands, see what I can rip out.

I have noticed that IE6 on XP ServicePack2 is kicking up a fuss about the flash movei though, not sure why.

A second or two on broadband? That's really bad!! The HTML page, image and Flash animation = around 37kb which is more than the old page but caching should help with the last two. It may be the opening and closing of the text file that is causing the lag although I can't really see it being much more intensive than connecting to a database. Any expert know which is better?

It takes a few secs on my pc too and I'm on bband.

Well all I did was comment out the advert script and the whole thing sped up instantly.

<script language="JavaScript">
var ans_timestamp = (new Date()).getTime();
document.write("<scr" + "ipt language="JavaScript" src="http://ads.adviva.net/serve/v=300;m=2;l=1455;ts=" + ans_timestamp + ""></scr" + "ipt>");
</script>

and the original page

and without advert script

watching the statusbar in Mozilla it seems to be their server being slow that's causing it all.

I acquired myself a mug last time I was at Millbank. I think he's called Andrew Marr.

Ok, it was a BBC Parliament mug.

Very nice new posting form too, Asa. Looking great.

However I seem to be unable to post topic descriptions - they do not appear under the thread name anymore...

On replying to a PM, the subject line gets erased and I had to fill it back in again.
