I am not a hamster but lately Facebook has been making me feel like I’m in a giant hamster wheel. Loading profiles isn’t too bad but the “applications” can get to be horrendously slow… as in click on something and then go set up the capresso coffee machine and brew a pot. Then you go back and click something else and now you’ve got time to drink a couple of cups before anything else will finish loading.

Ok, maybe I’m exaggerating here just a tad… but not by too much. I’m not exactly running with the dinosaurs here… My PC may not be state of the art, but it’s not bad with a 1.6ghz cpu and half a gb of memory and I’m connected through a 3mbit adsl… to my way of thinking the thing should just about blink from one page load to the next. Apps should get cranked up almost instantly.

Maybe Facebook needs to trim some of the slow off of those apps.
