Hi ,

I have just installed this module and invite and everything is working fine. But then problem came when i try to access the website now after installing this module website is very slow. When i checked with firebug i came to know that there is JS "XFBML" which is taking lot of time.
Size of this is more then 60KB even after i have applied all the compression and all and over all coz of this module only size of my website get increased by 90KB.
That is not gud for a single module. With this size what would be the use of this module no user would like to visit a page which is so heavy even if it has lot of feature. Could you please suggest me something in this regard i really want to have this module on my website.
Please guide me

Thanks
VIveka

Unfortunately, the code size you're looking at is Facebook's Javascript APIs. Those are not files we've created, or are able to modify in any way.

Though we do agree that smaller is always better for a web page, 60KB is generally not a huge amount for a site, anymore. Additionally, any modern browser will cache the javascript file and test to see if it needs to be updated/downloaded on subsequent page loads. Therefore, the download of the file should be relatively rare (every day, maybe) not every pageload. The speed of that code executing will remain constant though, and in this area Facebook's Javascript API isn't always the fastest.

Hope this information helps!
