As a test I just loaded page 4 of
What's the greatest album cover of all time ?
and it took 8.46 secs, which isn't bad some
ebay pages take 30 secs to load.
Page 1 of same thread took 6.37 secs and none
of the images would have been in my cache.
Reloading page 4 took 7.3 secs Images would have been
cached.
I'm timing these with FasterFox on Firefox 2
sadly it won't work with later Firefox versions.
I like to see how long pages take to load
I'm sad like that
Nevermind the greatest have a look at his lot which must be the worst ever:

Manchester still has some really nice old railway stations and some really good examples of how they molished buildings in the old days.
** molished = opposite of demolished
one of the words used frequently on uk.rec.sheds newsgroup

Any connection with Lowry?
if not, I suppose it shows how the built environment changes. Next exhibition is "hacking the city".
Daft thing is they've now changed the name back from GMEX to "Manchester Central" even though it no longer looks like a station.
City of Change and Demolition

I didn't realize they grew up like that.... looks quite old to
me.... even though I wouldn't know

Seems pointless listing it and then removing all the platforms including the Victorian metalwork and converting what's left into the GMEX Centre which looks nothing like a railway station?
