Greedy JS
Greedy JS: Michal Migurski notes an impaired user experience with heavy JavaScript use in text-based websites. I still use dialup on occasion, and the most painful sites for me are frequently newspaper sites with many trackers and resources from different domains. I suspect that many of Flash's past perception problems came from ads in background tabs which tried to achieve a high framerate. This is a tough problem to solve, a tragedy of the commons, when each development team wants their own content to play very quickly, leading to conflicts among multiple sites.

Jeez, has Adobe made your role Corporate Complainer?
"I can't quite make jibe with...", "I also wish Google respected...", "the most painful sites for me..."
There's a definite trend going on here :-)
(I blame your new found love of PDF's myself, things were much nicer when you hated them as much as the rest of us)

Good points made here... what about the size of the official IE_activeX_fix.js? It's bigger than any .swf we've EVER posted!
