Joe,
1) The image is loaded from Facebook's own Javascript library. That library isn't loaded until your page fully loads. So, if you can increase the load time of your page (reduce Javascript, images, etc), that may help. However, if you want to use a local image, you easily can. Check out the 2nd and 3rd question in the article below on how to do it:
www.sourcecoast.com/jfbconnect/docs/common-support-questions
If you need help doing that in the JFBCLogin module, I can help let you know where to make those changes.
2) There really isn't. The login is handled by Facebook through some Javascript calls. It shouldn't be excessive, and we've taken pains to decrease that time however we can. You may want to try disabling avatar and field importing, for now, to see if that improves things. Alternatively, you may want to look into your server's overall speed, as that could be part of the problem.
I've added a case to our tracker to investigate if it is possible to intercept and put some indicator in there, but not sure how easy/possible that will be or when it would be done.
3) We don't have a way to conform the input, because Facebook only accepts text fields. For some fields, like you mention (birthday, website), it's probably possible to format things and allow importing into url or date fields. For other fields (interests, lets say), it could be literally anything, so it'd be impossible to create some code to properly import it into some custom dropdowns (or whatever) you have.
We'll have to look into it more on how to make those specific fields a little easier to import.. but we always have to make sure it's easily done and doesn't cause other problems.
Finally, very glad to hear you liked my talk at NYC! I'm terrible at putting names with faces.. did we chat there? I hope we did, and apologies for not knowing. We met a ton of great people there!
On a separate topic, I sent you an email about a week ago regarding an early test release of our LinkedIn extension, which you mentioned interest in in our pre-sales area. If you're interested, please send me an email at
