Thanks, the slideshare was starting to go really slow once I hit slide 300.

I noticed that too, i'm glad you mentioned it. Q6600 running Chrome 15, everything was perfectly snappy until somewhere around then.

Maybe slideshare has some sort of architectural problem? Is it seeking through the slides linearly for every request? Maybe slides after a certain point get read from disk in multiple segments? Maybe at that exact point in time, the load on the server increased?

Who knows :(

It's speedy again after reloading the page and typing the slide number to continue with into the slide number box--at least for a little while.

Thanks!

I hate slideshare so much.

Very amusing! I wonder if there is a similar showcase for well done presentations?

Well done presentations are usually incomprehensible without live video.

Thank you! This is much better than that annoying slide share.
