Peter Krautzberger <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |peter.krautzberger@mathjax. | |org --- Comment #4 from Peter Krautzberger <[email protected]> --- As an observer, I would like to add a few points. First, it's very easy to test this, just modify http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14610821/apply-mathjax-to-arbitrary-elements/14631703#14631703 to look for "tex" classes. With this you could actually compare timing. A quick (unrepresentative) look tells me that equation images vary between 200byte (single characters) and 1.5kb (decently sized arrays). I'm guessing an average Wikipedia page is in the hundreds kb; an average MathJax download will also be in the hundreds kb (most of it coming in asynchronously depending on the content and the user's browser cache). I don't know what the average equation load is (10kb? 50kb?), but I suspect there's little to loose for the user: with few equations, the load won't make a blip, with many you might really want the images first since MathJax rendering (not downloading) is the real delay. Personally, I find the user experience very pleasing when images silently turn into HTML. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
