But I'm not talking about ping stats, just your experience with loading pages/browsing around on the forums. So not the speed of their server but more like the speed of the software itself.
IMHO, I think its impossible to measure to the infinite level, due to the factors at play, ie.
Server hosted & loads at specific time
Distance to server / its physical location
Server companies upload speed (10Mbits or 100Mbits)
Your local loads / connection speed/ ISP
Your physical system specifications
How much of a site you have viewed and is cached upon your browser.
No doubt there are more that I have missed. To my knowledge from reading, cacheing hasn't been enabled yet / or announced that it had been enabled. Last I read from Kier or Mike was that cacheing is off until further within the development.
A Joomla install on a local melbourne server is far faster to load than the identical Joomla install I have sitting on a US based server, both enterprise level.
There is no doubt this is fast. But we have to wait since all the features are not fully functional yet. There are still more things that need to be turned on.
I am still very confidant that it will be a faster loading board than any other. We just have to wait and see.
