Performance Improvements

Based on some feedback I have been getting from my classmates, I have made some performance improvements.

The javascript is now downloaded as one file instead of 4 and is compressed. So the download is reduced from over 200Kb to just 60Kb.

Pictures are loaded on demand, rather than all at once at the beginning. So no bandwidth is wasted loading pictures you are not going to look at right away.

I plan to increase the compression on the pictures this weekend, which should help even more.

I would recommend using the Flashcards on an Internet Connect of at least 256Kb (DSL, Cable, other Broadband). I'm trying to get to the point where it works well on 128Kb ISDN. Stay tuned...
