Coding Horror: Performance is a Feature
OK, Negative Nellie here:<p>Do all the popups on Stack Overflow factor into the performance measurements? My last three visits I had a "welcome back ... blah blah blah" popup as well as the orange "you've got a badge or something" popup. I love Stack Overflow, but the popups are distracting. I have a must-close-popups-OCD disorder, so if I measure performance as the time it takes from clicking my bookmark to being able to use the site, it's been in the 5-digit millisecond range.
