Is anyone else noticing e.g. std.datetime taking upwards of 30 seconds to render the blob of links at the top? It's freakin freezing my entire browser.

Yeah, I see it.

Not browser stalling though, just annoying.

It renders without the links, freezes the page, turns white, adds the links and becomes visible.

The whole process only takes 5-7 seconds here.

The link situation definitely needs to be fixed. People keep making noise abouet it, but nothing has yet actually made it into dmd or d-programming- language.org to fix it. Also, std.datetime should be split up into sub-modules, but I don't want to do that until some form of DIPs 15 or 16 is implemented. That way, no code will break or be be forced to change as a result.

http://www.prowiki.org/wiki4d/wiki.cgi?LanguageDevel/DIPs/DIP15 http://www.prowiki.org/wiki4d/wiki.cgi?LanguageDevel/DIPs/DIP16

But until the link situation is fixed or std.datetime is split up, I'm not aware of anything that can really be done to fix the problem.

Personally I disable JavaScript for dlang.org a long time ago and happy now. At least because the hyphenation is just terrible.

Also consider bootDoc generated Phobos documentation:

"Only" is not the right word to use here.

It only takes about a second or two for me in FF2. I'm not seeing any blob of links at the top though.

'cos you're running with JS turned off. :-)

Also, I think the actual results depends on your system. If you have a high-powered system you probably wouldn't notice too much lag. It "only" takes about 3-4 seconds for me on a dual-core 3.4GHz Intel machine. But older machines will probably see a bigger lag.

But anyway, I think all of this is kinda missing the point. The point is that the blob of links at the top of the page is plain unhelpful. It is only useful if you already know what you're looking for, in which case you could just use your browser's search function to find the matching text instead. Much more useful is a broken-down categorization (with proper nesting, etc.) of the functions, classes, structs, etc., of the module. Something like what std.algorithm does.

It makes the web 10x faster, 10x more practical and 10x less obnoxious - it's the "Make the web instantly better" checkbox ;) It's almost magical!

Yea, at the same time though, if it takes a dual-core 3.4GHz (with two levels of cache, out-of-order execution, pipelineing, branch prediction, SIMD, external GPU, etc) 3-4 seconds to render a few pages of formatted text, then something in computing has gone very, very wrong.

Looking at it with JS on, yea, I see what you mean now. Not so nice, not so helpful, and definitely not worth the rendering lag. The new-style baked-in summaries on pages like std.algorithm are much, much better.

Heh. I used to browse with no JS. But due to the annoying bandwagon jumping trend that is a common pathology in people involved with computers, more and more websites are starting to depend on JS and are mostly (or completely) dysfunctional without JS. So I grudgingly turned it back on.

Mind you, though, what with browser bloat and JS memory hogging plaguing my browsing experience recently, I've tentatively switched back to no JS by default, and enable only on a per-site basis (Opera is good for that kinda thing). There have been websites that outright crash my browser or soak up all available RAM and then some (causing the browser to be 99% I/O bound and the pig which is X11 to essentially grind to a halt), and then I ban JS for that site, and boom, it's instantly better. Just like you said. :-P

I said the same thing when Java first came out, and the earlier JVMs used to gobble up 2GB of RAM and 99% CPU upon startup, all just to display a "hello world" message. :-)

I would go so far as to propose that we get rid of those unhelpful link blobs completely. They make the page slow to load, and for no real benefit. Sounds like a lose-lose proposition to me. But I'd probably get lynched for saying that. :-P
