Ralkage Enabling or disabling Discussion Views or FoF Reactions doesn't seem to change anything.
With Discussion Views enabled, the page takes 5 to 7 seconds to load (then it triggers all other loads). There is no request larger than 20k (excepting some JS, images, etc.).
The home index (discussions) is 85Kb (with Discussions view turned on)
Opening a page with 100k views takes 587ms. That page with 2 million views takes 5.26 seconds.
With Discussion Views off, the page is slower. A Ctrl+F5 took 17.8 seconds, a simple F5 takes 15.4 seconds!!!! (not sure if is the plugin or if the original slowness problem is hitting me)
Enabling now Discussions View and FoF reactions and clearing the cache...
The page with 2 million views took 26.56s to load (after one initial load to desconsider the cache clean up).
A second F5 and it takes 15.95s. All requests, except the initial request, a 580fxwdgus script are cached (disk or memory cached by MS Edge).
@rob006 With FoF Reactions on and a Ctrl+F5 to disregard browser cache, still there is no huges requests. There is a base.js with 516kb (but it takes only 39ms to load), followed by the page itself with 164Kb (and 6.69s to load).
I don't think FoF Reactions is being used or make any difference (I'll leave it disabled, nevertheless)
