Unfortunately, I'm not on a mac... I have been logging the response times of the posting form over the last couple of days.
>From home (good connection) it averages out around 2.2 seconds. I'm on site today (Large govt. client, 1000's users) and the response is averaging around 15secs... which is unusable. Perhaps if the email suggestion is no good, Joshua and the team could come up with a lightweight posting solution. Clearly the official posting interface is very heavy with both javascript and css that could well be optimised (i.e refactoring, removing old/redundant code and supplying a slim, post specific css file rather than the fat 1 that is used site wide) Maybe the users tags could be cached somehow and perhaps the tag suggestions and popular tags could be optionally turned off per user.
