.. Come on Devs.. If the game got any slower it would be running backwards! The home page and fight pages take 4ever to load and cycle through. I do like the new news feed but not at the expense of speed.
Are you still having an issue? We recently released a version where the feed will load after the home page. If you have many friends it might take a couple seconds to load the feed, we are working on optimizing this as much as we can.
The home page seems to to be very snappy but I still can't move or do anything else till the full news file loads.. This is a real pain. I also notice anything I do within the game that involves FB and profile updates takes forever to load too. I find myself staying away from Help requests just because it's so slow to load and confirm.
