I guess if you include dialup connections in the average? The page load seemed pretty much instantaneous to me on a standard 2Mbps Tata Indicom connection. At worst, I believe the average broadband connection these days would be 512 Kbps, and "more than ten minutes" is still too much of a stretch.
Edit: Akamai reports that the average Internet speed in India is 0.9 Mbps: http://www.businesswireindia.com/PressRelease.asp?b2mid=3042....

I don't see how that is "better", it's just totally different. I think this VW version looks a total mess when scrolled. Nissan is much much simpler and smoother.

#75I might just ditch Firefox because of this webpage. A fresh session of Ffx15 goes up to 1.5 GB memory usage, pushes everything into swap and brings my whole OS to a grinding halt until I kill it. In other words this link is basically a very effective DoS. In Chromium it works fine. Am I the only one having this problem? (Edit: I have several Ffx addons running and no Chromium addons, so the comparison was unfair. May…
FF 16 (Aurora channel), Windows 7 here: no noticeable issues. Memory usage showed about 350 MB, and that's not remarkably far from regular usage numbers anyway.
FF 16 (aurora), Ubuntu 12.04, core i7, 4GB ram (no swap).
Memory usage jumped to about 2GB before the machine became totally unresponsive. I did something else for a few minutes while I waited for the kernel to kill anything using too much memory and get my machine back to a usable state.

512 here, ten minutes just about fits the bill. I have been reading all these comments but have no idea what it is because it wont load for me at all. i cant load 30 mb. It's bsnl and it wont even give complete 512. more like 400.

#77This works pretty well in IE9 with no noticeable performance problems on a 5 year old machine.
Rather scarily, it also works fine on a Lumia 710 as well!
I don't care what anyone says - IE is not a stinking heap of poop.
Re: Just Scroll
#78Interesting design concept - but a horrible implementation of it. You can't just go and load a thousand divs and not expect a wide variety of performance issues across all the different platforms. You need to have a tile manager or something behind the scenes the same way that Google maps does, especially when targetting smaller consumer devices with limited hardware specs like tablets and phones. * iOS5 - with an ip…
It works very well in IE9 (both desktop and WP7.5). Perhaps you should try it before you slate it.

#79Earlier quoted context omitted.
An interesting exercise, but maybe not practical, considering how slow your average home internet connection is, and how much data you're trying to stuff through that pipe. It's IMO likely that most people will end up scrolling faster than the page can load. Not to mention, this will murder any mobile device or weaker laptops. Cool piece of marketing, but ultimately if the goal is to deliver a cool experience to as m…
Note the .jp. As I mentioned above, our internet speeds are crazy fast. I downloaded the whole thing in about 3 seconds on my home internet, 10 on my 3g ipad. The only issue with the ipad was that you couldn't flick and have it just scroll down.
It's because of the way iOS captures scroll events. These scrolling sites never look right on iOS.

Contrary to what many people believe IE9 actually outperforms both FF and Chrome in many aspects. IE10 should be even better.

"Of all browsers and systems I tested, IE9 subjectively produced the best results. It seems to precisely synchronize JavaScript execution with the refresh rate: the benchmark runs at exactly 60 FPS on my machine, even though the timer is scheduled every 16 milliseconds, or 62.5 FPS."
