Hi, we had the first day of our workshop for introducing Swahili wikipedia and gaining new editors. We had planned to start the introduction with the Visual Editor. We had to cancel this because on a test run the evening before we could not open pages this way, whereas by going to source edit we entered in a short time (after 5-8 seconds, but waiting more than 10 minutes for Visual editor - in vain. Just now a night later test repeated: 4=5 sec source, 75 seconds VisEditor. I gladly keep on testing this as long as I am in the country.

Thank you for this information. Some major improvements to performance were made late last week. I believe those improvements are why the performance improved from many minutes to 75 seconds. However, 75 seconds is still too long for people to wait. The team is working on speed as one of the most important needs for users.
