[since this topic usually only comes up in a negative way]

I've only occasionally been here for the last couple of weeks (tough university courses, which by the way is the reason I can't take part in the challenge), but now is the first time I don't have _any_ lags at all. There apparently have been great speed improvements*.

Thanks for that!(with the share of the "thanks" being distributed among both Google App Engine and Skritter developers)

*Disclaimer: my sample size of speed measurements isn't impressively large.

Yeah I noticed that as well. Today is like the fastest day ever to skritter in China.

Thanks! I've actually written a blog post about this, but it's not scheduled to go up for another few weeks. There have been improvements made on both sides of our serving fence. Hopefully we'll keep seeing faster speeds and my blog post will still be true when it goes up!

I've noticed this too. Much appreciated!

It's coming in spurts for me, but when it is super fast it is amazing!

There is a enormous boost now! Thanks a lot!
