Interesting 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…

Although it will not solve the performance issue you mentioned, the design might have been better if it has an auto-scroll link.

In countries like INDIA, the site takes about more than ten minutes to load on an average indian internet connection.

Of course the goal of this website is to sell cars to Indians out of Japan, so really fail on Nissan's part

Inefficient? Sure Cool to look at? You betcha Not everything needs to be a technological marvel

+1 it's playing like this that inspires ideas in others - should it be so prominent, maybe not. Furthermore, it's going to get linked a ton which is great for Nissan's brand.

I tried loading this on my android tablet running chrome and it worked reasonably well. The initial load took a moment to load all those images but after that I did not have any real issues scrolling. I am honestly surprised by reports from others that this webpage brought their machines to a near crawl especially since it worked fine on my tablet.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

It works very well in IE9 (both desktop and WP7.5). Perhaps you should try it before you slate it.

I understand that IE9 uses the GPU to render the DOM. That would help vastly with things like this, unfortunately it does little for its JavaScript performance, but since this page doesn't seem to execute any JavaScript during scrolling (i think) i guess it's not relevant for this one edge case scenario :-)

I think you're confusing IE9 with IE8.

Thank you for this.

I'm so sad that the comments that top HN comment areas are individuals complaining about implementation. This should be a place to find inspiration and encourage innovation, not nitpick those who are willing to try for great things.

I 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…

I am using Firefox 15 on Windows XP. I had no problems whatsoever.

I opened up windows task manager, and watched the mem usage for firefox.exe. Before navigating to that webpage, it was using 150 MB of memory. I went to the webpage and scrolled down as expected, and saw the mem usage peak at around 430 MB when the page first loaded, then as I scrolled down and sat at the bottom of the page, it stabilized at around 300 MB.

After closing the tab and going back to leave this comment, firefox is back to about 150 MB of mem usage. I think there is a problem with your particular installation (or add-ons or drivers), not a general problem with Firefox itself.
