Derek’s concern voices why I resisted posting games for so long. Now that they have switched from applets to scripts, the problem has abated a large degree. Also, they don’t cause the browser to completely just hang like applets. It just takes a bit of time for the somewhat klunky Chesspublisher 2.0 to load while the rest of the content sits and stares at the white box.

For me, the speed difference is there, but not extremely noticeable. The more annoying thing for me that using Chess Publisher throws in extra links for the back button (at least in Opera, haven’t tested with another browsers).

I’ll try to keep only one game up at a time in the future.

I do plan on moving away from CP to something I can stick on my own server. In other words, combining the convenience of CP, without taking the hit of accessing someone else’s page. Just haven’t been motivated enough yet.

@DS: I was wondering the same thing. I’m just starting my blog and in my first attempt to share a game, used several diagrams from Chessup.net (I think that’s the right site/url) and then found ChessPublisher.

Posts on Chessaholic and BDK’s site loaded well enough on my PC at work just now, and our connection is a hideous T1 cobbled together with what I’m guessing are copper plated midget whiskers.

I’m probably gonna keep PGN viewer stuff ‘after the jump’ so my main page isn’t affected.

Handy tho it is, I am surprised that I haven’t seen others noting that embedding a chesspublisher game or two DRAMATICALLY slows down your page loading time. Is it just me?
