maemo.org - Talk - Go easy on the Javascript

With the recent discussion of the loading time of itT, I did some tests and was surprised by the results. I did these tests on the same connection within minutes of each other. I did three trials for each configuration. All times are in seconds. The flash player was not present or disabled for all tests, except the Firefox test.

I don't want to turn Javascript off permanently because it's useful for posting, other stuff at this site, and other sites.
