you might have noticed that the site is rather slow lately. Well, it seems to be a side effect of the connection that the server is on. I can't really complain cause it is a free service provided by a friend. But it also seems that Telus are a bunch of poo-eating bitches. Die sluts die.
One of the most annoying things about S9y is the fact that the main stylesheet is a PHP script, which includes the bulk of the S9y codebase itself. Not only does this make retrieving the stylesheet a non-trivial operation, but it also means that the stylesheet itself cannot be cached. The reason why the S9y developers chose to do this is so that plugins can check to see if any styles are defined for particular classes, and if they are not provide reasonable defaults.
As an aside, a better method might be to call the main css file statically, and have each plugin provide its own static css file. It is trivial to check to see if 'my_plugin_name.css' exists in the current theme dir. All this could be done in the head block.
In the meantime, for any S9y theme authors, or even anyone who just wants to make their S9y installation just a little faster, here is a great fix:
@import "/templates/midibuffer/main.css";
/*
.serendipity_searchQuery {}
.serendipity_freeTag {}
*/There ya go. hopefully that will speed you up a little.
