I liked it as a demo, but was incredibly slow to load for me, and I dont see anything that indicates a large amount of data is being loaded

All I see is the Win8 spinny dots. I can't tell if it's actually going to load something, or if a connection is being blocked (by my gamut of ad and data prevention plugins) and I'm waiting for a timeout.

Whatever you do, do not submit McLibel as a favorite moment. They have no sense of humor about it.

I'm on a 100 mbit up/down connection, and it was still really slow.

Funny, I was literally just thinking it was incredibly snappy for all the large images, and fairly intricate styling.

If you look at the source, you can see why it is slow. Tons of js linked in there, right in the , no minification. They even embed jQuery twice on there (1.3.2 then later on 1.6.2). Also, lots of inline styles on the page. Looks like they are using a CMS, not sure which one though.

Nevertheless, that 3D rollover effect and infinite scroll in all directions is pretty fun.

Slow initial load for me as well...there is alot of assets in the head that aren't loaded async.

This is kind of a pet peeve of mine for sites that are utilizing so much HTML5...why not use appcache manifests? I understand setting caches directly through the instance, but it might just be me, this is one of my favorite features in server load reduction!
