What's the deal > on improving performance? Is it simply a matter of time? Partly it is a matter of time. It is also a matter of the TFE problem. This is (and we are incapable of fixing it because Ian has decreed that we shall not patch browsers), that when you load TFE, it takes ages, because it has lots of images, and browsers artificially limit the number of HTTP connections that they use to a given host (i.e. your browser). This is NOT a bug in the browser, it works fine for HTTP, where all requests succeed or fail more or less instantly, and then transfer data, but it IS a bug in the way we communicate with browsers. > > I expect my IP address to change soon?

Just make sure you haven't set an IP address explicitly in the config file, and it will be autodetected. >
