| So, I think this is a matter of correct implementation more than anything, but here's my analysis and justification First of all, if I want to see details quickly for a user, even if they post a message without subject, I first click on the message. When this page loads, its roughly 135K. Next, I then click on the username since it is linked. Another 200K is then loaded. I've just pulled two server requests and 335KB for no reason. hehe Now, if you cache the user info as people post and then push it with the page, I bet the hit would actually lessen. Keep in mind, you would only be loading a few extra lines of text for as many users are listed on the page. I can guarantee that sending all of that text for all users shown will be less than 335K. Admittedly the browser does cache some of the images, but even still the text rendered alone for the two pages would still be more. That's just my two cents. Perhaps worth reconsidering. :-)
