Define "here"? I live in Poland and use a 2005 laptop on a 1 mbps connection.
The performance of the demo was not awful, but not smooth either, and I'm

This has actually just been fixed (and will be deployed soon). Page reload is
no longer necessary, but the interface isn't perfect yet. See bug 40207.
