[WikiEN-l] Evidence as to VFD being unusably big

Sun Mar 6 11:32:58 UTC 2005

I just saved [[WP:VFD]] as of a few minutes ago. The HTML alone is 1,324,734
bytes. The associated files are 28,964 bytes.

I have a Pentium II 450MHz with 768MB memory running Netscape 7.2. It takes
a minute or two just for the page to render.

So to vote on VFD, you must have a broadband connection - anyone on dialup
is pretty much barred - and preferably be browsing with an Athlon 64. Or
maybe a Cray.

Here's one suggestion: make the main VFD page just links to the day pages,
rather than transcluding every one of them.
