Reason is Safari for Mac buffers 1024 bytes before it starts to issue requests for assets (and Safari for iPhone and iPad buffer 512 bytes). Since the head of a document is typically smaller, Safari users would still get the ordinary bad experience. Firefox, Opera, and IE8 do not buffer, and Chrome buffers 252 bytes, according to some test I've done together with Hongli Lai. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
