@Luke: I don’t think packing scripts.js would make a big difference, as the size of that file is already quite small.

pack the javascript at least then? use the built in cake way !
I have noticed the js on the mnue taking a while to render too, on a Mac ibook g4 1.3Ghz, firefox / opera 9.5 so perhaps it is suffering on older macs? JS differs a lot by browser I find – opera 9.5 is pretty good compared to FireFox with Firebug on, for a crude example.

It’s noticeably slow (all urls) for me.
Fact: scripts.js alone always takes at least 2.2 sec to load.

@AD7six: It is with all book urls slow. Maybe you have to use an older computer to reproduce it ;-)

with all book urls or one in particular?

I doubt the js is optimal however: for me FF 2.0.0.12 (Linux/Win) is fine. How can I reproduce your slowness ;).

@All: Thanks for your comments!

@John: As lemp already said, it is the Javascript that slows down the application. The execution of scripts.js takes around 3-4 seconds according to Firebug. I tested it with FF 2.0.0.12 (Linux/Win) and with Konqueror.

If you can tell us where it’s slow for you, we’ll give it a look. I’d have to concur with the others, though. I haven’t noticed any slowness.

Looks like the speed is a local issue. Runs fine for me in Safari, FF2, and IE6 in a WinXP VM.

It run super-fast for me on a crappy Vista laptop
