Bible Browser Too Slow to be usable

Whew, that is painful :-)

I understand the need for server sophistication/online capability for the feature, but you would think some of the data could be cached on the user's computer so it was slower at first but a majority of the work would be zippy.

How fast is your Internet connection. I'm on a fast cable connection and it is nowhere near as slow as your video shows.

I wrote this in another thread, thought it might be worth mentioning here:

Unfortunately, the lag in Bible Browser at present makes it painful to use. Worse, when I first tried to use it, it came up with 2-3 visual filters enabled (not by any explicit action of mine); and it would hang for seconds at a time - to the point where Windows put the "(not responding)" message in the window's title bar. The forums have trained me well enough to look first at VFs in such situations, and that fixed that problem. But it is still so slow to respond that I can't get into any kind of fluid use that lets me really discover what it's good at.

I've not used the Browser in the past week but WOW, quite an improvement over when it first rolled! Very snappy.
