Fencer: Yea, but how much time does it take the system to calculate the rating change before it can be displayed on the game page? Yea, the text itself isn't much at all - but does your system calculate it when the page is called for or in advance?

How about the "Score of finished games" between 2 players? Does your system calculate and look at the past games between 2 players to calculate that information on every page load, or is it calculated in advance?

If the answer to both of those is in advance, then it may not be the problem.

But if my browser request a page - the request goes to your system, it first has to calculate BKR change, then it has to do a look up on games to get results of past games between 2 players and such, then it makes up the code for the page and sends it off for my browser to interpret - then that is extra time your system takes in giving me back the game - with a lot of useless information I personally don't use 99.9% of the time.

But again, I don't know how your system gets some of those stats - but something is wrong somewhere if so many people are seeing speed issues..... I'm just trying to help figure out what - and getting rid of extra junk on the page is just one way I can think of.
