I find it not as quick to load as the old one, just now before posting this I waited a few minutes before it loaded. When it does load it is instantaneous in that all the content appears at once.
On an Asus eepad running Android 4.2.1 and the stock Android browser, the main issue for me is that every key stroke takes 1 or 2 seconds to appear on the screen. I also have to wait for the page to catch up as in I can click on the reply window adn I wait up to a minute for the cursor to appear. Page to page and opening up threads are no problem nd oh yes I've just remembered the site doesn't remember my log in and of all the bookmarked sites this is the only one to not to do it. It did on the old version. Desk top acess I have no problems with, just Android. Andy
