New comment system

I've turned on comments but I'm not terribly happy with them yet. The biggest problem is they really slow down page renders since each post has to ask blogger "how many comments are there". This really seems to slow down page renders quite a bit (although I've not timed it). If you are reading this can you give me a sense of how fast it renders for you? (using the comment system of course)

It also uses a lot of the blogger comment system which is both good and bad.... Anyway work in progress.

I've also started a rapidflickr FAQ . It was inspired by a customer who said "You have great e-mail support but wouldn't it be easier to write some of these down and put them on the web?" Of course he was right.


Oh, and happy new year!

Seems really quick for me John. Nothing out of the ordinary tbh. Perhaps 2 seconds when slow.... not more than that at any rate.

Seems fast enough :)

Thanks for the comments guys. I'm still a bit worried because the delay will grow with number of posts but I'll be posting for a while here and so we can keep an eye on it. If you think it's getting too slow let me know.
