Hi Danielo

The plugin library HTML file has the metadata for the plugins (it is 148KB) and uses XMLHTTPRequest to load the individual JSON files. You can see all this with the browser dev tools network tab. > If the answer is yes this is another big disadvantage for mobile: you have > to download a big file and load it into memory with the negative effect > this can have in your Internet plan and device's ram.

Can you access the browser dev tools to see if there are any issues? I've no idea how it would work with Android, but with iPhone/iPad one can easily open dev tools from a computer into a page loaded up on a phone attached via USB.
