Re: UKNM: Fast-loading sites

[Lee Rickler]

I agree Ray. But a fast server  does help. As I said. Our site is hosted in the states and does come down faster than some sites that i have seen hosted in the UK. it does help of course to have a clean machine and fast dial-up.

At home I have a 56k modem, at work I have a T1 line. guess where I get faster access !!!

>Worth bearing in mind that it's not just a question of fast web servers.

Most people using the Internet are getting slower and slower access as the

number of dial-up users increases and the bottlenecks get worse. Faster web

severs won't help much. Smaller and fewer gifs, less Java and more efficient

and effective use of html, etc, will.


Any services accessible on the internet should be programmed efficiently

because there will always be bandwidth restrictions. This principle should

in my view be written into the UN Convention on Human Rights. Greenpeace

should take up the cause against bandwidth pollution.


Disasters loom and nobody will care until they happen. Just like train

crashes, ozone depletion and nuclear accidents. At some point within the

next few years there will be a major catastrophe that could have been

avoided had the net not been so clogged.


And closer to home, 10% more efficient code, means 10% (maybe) less time

wasted.
