That is far from a common experience. The plugin is much lighter now with far less db queries and most definitely clocks in faster on all of our testing.

wow. first time anyone has said that.  universally praised for the huge improvements from 4.x

I’m so sorry but my feeling is that is going slower than older version.

You can check my forum on www.rutersdemallorca.com/foro (it’s spanish site)

From what I see the images and form above the forum but below your navigation tabs is the slowest to load. They seem to be trying to load at the same time as the forum does.

You might want to look at those and see if you can reduce that overhead so other things, like the forum, can load quickly.
