FRee Tip to Speed up Free Republic

Just before I ditched drudge a while back, I noticed the same thing - the whack-job ad and the main article photo loaded quickly, but the bottom with the links took ages. Good secondary reason to quit him.

I haven’t been logged off since 2003 except the times my computer died. I probably haven’t logged on more than 10 or 12 times.

I'm not even sure that I remember my password ...

Not having yet read the responses, someone may have made this point by now, but I seriously doubt John would've coded the site to refresh one's ping list every time a link is clicked.

It would make much more sense to do a search of the database only when one specifically queries their ping history.

But I've already been wrong once this year, so who knows . . .

Thanks for the tip.

FR has been slow for me for about a year or so; so I stay logged off FR most of the time until ready to post.

That’s an interesting observation.

I’ll have to start browsing FR using two browsers, one logged in, and one not. This machine has 8G of RAM, keeping two open is no big deal most of the time.
