Hi. Have come here from en.wiktionary, where the introduction of Flow is being preliminarily mooted. I tried the Flow sandbox and, while the UI seems okay (certainly better than LiquidThreads), it is appallingly slow and unresponsive for me. I am using Chrome on Win7 64-bit. Computer is a few years old. When I click a button, such as "Post" or "Hide", it takes 20-30 seconds to respond. There is also no visual cue (such as a change in the mouse cursor) to indicate that anything is going to happen at all.
Topic on Talk:Structured Discussions
Testing in up-to-date Chrome 39.0.2171.95 on Win 7. Clicking Add topic took around six seconds. This is far too long to leave the user with no indication that anything is happening -- no on-screen progress, no change in the cursor, no indication at all that the website even registered the mouse click.
Clicking Reply in this thread took around 1.5-2 seconds. Better, but still too long with no indication of any change.
Working on the performance is an ongoing/constant task; but I believe they plan to concentrate on it specifically, in the near future. Thanks for the detailed feedback.
