I hate derailing threads, bit doesn't the mobile skin already do this? I always notice fast loading of articles on my cell phone, and slow section opening (I figured it was quite clever to defer loading of sections to a later point in time. For a quick lookup on my cell phone I rarely need to load all sections anyway) On Sep 18, 2012 7:17 PM, "Brion Vibber" brion@pobox.com wrote:

Sending more data to primarily empower mobile devices sounds rather counter-intuitive
Amount of data, and *when that data comes in*, are distinct things. One other change we've got brewing up for the mobile site is to delay loading of collapsed section content by separating it out to an API request. This gets you loading the initial page *immediately*, then loads up the rest. Same amount of data, but the page above the sections is live and visible and interactive before you load the other stuff.
