[Pmwiki-users] long loading times?

[Steven Leite]

I really like the idea of not downloading ALL the data in the file that
isn't going to be directly viewed.  The sandbox for example.  It makes
good sense to only read the information that's going to get displayed.
I like that aspect of your hack - it should speed things up on any
server (for big pages with lots of revisions).

Maybe I'm wrong.  I'll be happy to hear any comments from Pm regarding
this.

There should be a way to detect if a "view page history" or "view page"
has been clicked.  Obviously, if the user clicks "view page history",
then the entire file should be read.
