Looking at http://www.mathjax.org/demos/tex-samples/ it may indeed take a couple of seconds to convert from TeX to the graphical view, but without 100% CPU usage or looking "blocked". I'm not using 49b but 3.6.12, though. I see a similar result in chromium. A disadvantage is that the showing the formula needs to reposition the content, instead of reserving the space in advance. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
