I like group mode for some things, especially pages with tables or
frames. Torrent trackers are one place where I almost always group
mode. I find pages take longer to load though and switching between
groups can be very slow, especially large groups. That is why I
haven't tried it on facebook. In dom it jumps through headings
effortlessly for me and I am pretty sure if I try this particular page
in group I won't get as good mileage. Especially when you take the
chat applet into consideration. Actually I've been thinking of
looking around to see if there's a way to shut that off. I'll do the
chat through adium when it comes out in the next stable releace and it
would get some clutter out of the way.
This is a pretty good system. Macbook pro 2.4 ghz 2 gb ram, 160 gb
sata drive and os leppard 10.5.2 with all the latest updates. I don't
know why group mode bogs down on me,.

ERik, *warm smile* how on earth could you say that group mode
doesn't work well if you haven't yet used it?… <smile. Forgive me
but THAT'S CRAZY TALK! lol! You know that.
Anyway, I tried both modes and they both seem to load equally
well. to be honest, it really seemed as if DOM mode actually took a
bit longer, but the only real way to tell, would be with some bench
mark util, as the diff seemed obvious to me, but it could have been
anything. I'm curious for your exp when you try it.
I had no prob at all jumping from heading to heading or between
other elements in group mode, and I personally found the page very
sensibly laid out but your mileage may vary. Out of curiosity,
which machine are you running? You'd mentioned that you were
thinking it might get bogged down?…
anyway, have an awesome day and thanks for clarifying what ya
meant. -Rock!…
Smiles,
Cara :)

It does, but in terms of usibility I'm thinking about things like
VO finding and using all the elements on the page like controls and
headings, the lay out of the page in dom mode, the fact that
buttons and links click properly which they don't seem to under
windows. When I'm thinking abut performance I'm looking at the
time it takes to load, jump from one object to another and such.
Group mode on facebook is going to be a bit nuts. I haven't tried
it, but I'm almost scared to. My computer might go on strike.
Besides, I'm not sure it would lay the information out better than
it is in dom mode.

Are you using dom mode or group mode? Dom is slower on usibility
but faster on performance. Group is faster on usibility but
slower on performance. I tend to use facebook in dom mode
because the pages get so big that they bog down with group mode.

I'm talking about MySpace in regards to VO and graphics. A lot
of my friends have elaborate profiles, and I find that it can be
a bit sluggish when trying to navigate to the headings when
viewing Facebook profiles.
