I got a small comment.
It loads a billion small images including small country flags for the translating option, etc, aside from the usual images.
I don't know if you can mash them up in a sprite or just replace it with text and style with css.
Also i use virtualbox running two machine, basically one for work which takes the most memory.
And one for browsing which is dealt a smaller portion. But it is still 1500mb.
You really see it has a effect on the loading times.
What i'm trying to say is, that if you are using a small laptop and don't have the luxury of high speed internet , you will not be so happy.
Handy stuff though.
