New Zealand Internet speeds are a lot slower than the States so I can tell you from a moderating perspective this board has made some major improvements for me personally. During newsletter distribution times I may as well have just gone and made coffee between page turning. (not quite, but you get the picture)This board does seem much faster. I noticed profile pages taking awhile to load on the old board.
It does mean that I get a lot more done during my day... and that is good for the people on my side of the screen.
