[21:19:05] <Shirley>	I wonder how much "being horribly slow" has been measured as a reason people don't contribute to Wikimedia wikis.
[21:19:11] <Shirley>	Or at least don't contribute logged in.
[21:19:23] <Shirley>	Browsing the site logged in is almost painful at times.
[21:20:13] <bawolff>	Shirley: are you browsing the same wikimedia I am?
[21:20:27] <Shirley>	I don't know how you browse a Wikimedia.
[21:20:27] <bawolff>	because comparitively speaking, we are much faster now then 5 years ago
[21:20:42] <Shirley>	Any large article takes over ten seconds to render.
[21:20:52] <Shirley>	Logged in, that is.
[21:22:14] <Shirley>	Barack Obama: <!-- Served by srv203 in 32.721 secs. -->
[21:22:38] <Shirley>	United States: <!-- Served by srv277 in 19.880 secs. -->
[21:23:06] <Shirley>	I think it's difficult to encourage people to sign up and continue to sign in when you're going to make their user experience exponentially slower (worse).
[21:24:18] <bawolff>	hmm you've got a point. I tend to browse the small projects that don't make template monstrosities that take 20 seconds to render

[23:29:45] <Shirley>	jorm: That's terrifying.
