In the North, Spark has encountered a new tribe of creatures, who are eager to take him as an emissary between cultures. In the south, Iron sleeps off his wounds, with dreams of a new life for himself and a certain zebra. Silver tries to settle in those he saved from the cultists into their own lives. Fantasy play establishes herself in Baltimare, and she too, has encountered cultures unknown to her before. As they all search for normalcy, it remains to be seen just what dangers await beyond the horizon

Is this when viewing all posts or also just partial (last 50,100, 200 posts), and what browser are you using so I can do more testing.
Just to have asked a dumb question (just to eliminate the basic case) I assume reloaded the page so the newest js gets loaded.

I assume the stutter you talk about is when scrolling. and that every 70,40,35 post you scroll by you get a little stutter "freeze" when "Auto update" looks for new posts. Or is this when you scroll normally, and if you can try to turn off "Auto Update" (uncheck Auto at bottom of page) to see if you still get stutters. If you still get stuttering while scrolling after Auto update is turned off I will have to looks further into it as it won't be related to autoupdate where I found a big bottleneck.
The initial load of big threads/threads will always take a little toll as it has to do quite a bit.
>I tried loading this thread in Dissenter and didn't experience any stuttering (well got the tiny stutters I forced it to scroll superfast (click-hold on scrollbar) but that is due to rendering and I would not expect it to be able to do that fluently, not even notepad will do that)

I disabled the update and moved the cursor out of the way to avoid to render previews; now the scrolling is smooth in every case.
Under the same conditions described above, viewing all posts of this long page, the stutters happens every 500 posts.

Is it so that if you turn on autoupdate the stutters comes back every time it looks for updates (every 5 sec)? Like if you scroll continuously up and down you get a freeze every 5 sec? Or is it usable as it is now, like you can force it to do a few freezes but under normal conditions it won't be a nuance or particularly noticeable?

Correct, with the update ON the scroll stutters every ~10 posts.
It's not a terrible but it might be annoying for some autistic poner.

I'll do some more investigation to try to get down the time. It might be the load of the data from the server so little to do about it, but I will keep it in mind and do some testing. At least I have gotten it down from 2 sec freeze every 5 sec to under 100 ms (on test computer). So at lest it is significantly improved over how it was.

>>130811
Yep, added this feature when I created the new code. It still should be theoretical possible for a normal user to hit the perfect zero ID. But getting it when modposting is nowhere near as spectacular compared to actually get it through the grace of math and magic.

He pauses for a moment, looking solemnly at Silver. Then he answers
"Dear Sir, knowledge of what took place here is a public good. It was created by many creatures over many generations, and so too will it benefit many creatures over many generations. We are public servants and do not work for profit. It is our job to collect knowledge, and disperse it to the populous. The money we do have is mostly from donations or from public revenue, and is necessary for wages and essential expenses. Not many will pay much money for history, and those who would cannot, yet it has a value beyond that of money. Surely there is a spirit of generosity in you, to return to creaturekind what it created."

As above the catacombs, there are canvases on the rocks. One has pieces of armor on it, and the other has legs, and portions of flesh that is best described as mummified. Some is wet and bloated, and some even smells. But most is Black and Tan colored flesh that looks almost like it’s been frozen. On one of the canvases, Silver can see a whole body - one he might recognize as Private Green Basin.

Silver can see pieces of corpses floating. There are few, if any whole corpses in the water, and the water is lower than he left it two days ago. Mala follows silver, ready to wade into the water

"I'm new to the city and I wanted to tour around before I start working tomorrow. It's a fine neighborhood here, but I don't think I could afford it anytime soon." Her own cadence is quite similar to that of Baltimare but it lacks its cosmopolitan quality, instead being provincial. Perhaps it's the same sort of similarity as the coloration in the two ponies, with Amber having a deeper yellow coat with a ruddy mane.

There are several ponies. One, black in color earth pony stallion sleeps on a bench. There is something wrong with at least one of his legs. An older mare, who kind of looks like High Sewn walks by with a dog, and a smaller unicorn mare pushes a stroller. The most interesting birds are a blue jay and a morning dove. There is more than one raven, and several rock pidgeons. For a moment, Amber may think she saw a Passenger Pigeon.... but no, it's an ordinary pigeon. Just an ordinary pigeon. The Orieles are south for the Winter, as are many of the birds.

She smiles at the variety of birds. Not too bad, even for this season. Books just mention pigeons in the city and I was worried they would be all I'd see.
She walks a bit closer to the mare with the dog, not approaching her directly but catching up to her as she looks about the park. The park at this time is not particularly attractive but offers a calmer change of pace compared with the streets.

Mala jumps back into water, and wades closer to Silver. He says to him in a lower voice
"Your kind was made to eat grass, or at least it used to be. If I eat green things, it just goes right through me, but it powers you. And so we Kaftar were made to eat the corpses of animals and creatures. Rotting dead bodies that bloat under the sun, victims of predators, old age, or even sickness. I have a very strong stomach, and I have swallowed worse things than this. I can handle dirty water, and this flesh is sterile, if anything. I have self control, I will not eat any of these bodies and I will try not to swallow anything. I know it is important to ponies, and I know what you told me we were here for. I am not hungry anyways... But I can move rocks, if the winged pony will let me."

Apply that with Cauldron's special knack and previous cooking experience and she is brimming with potential for being a frontrunner in potionmaking, which can be used to improve all three of our lives with the fabled paper."

Silver, and to a lesser extent Mala, are able to move quite a bit out of the water. The pieces are more than a little dispersed, either by damage over the years or the bomb. A few have damage from bullets. It seems like a good guess that more will be revealed when the water is fully drained. More than once, Mala pulls up a branch.

The building is tall with three sections to it. A center section that is taller than any other, a section behind it, to the east that is around 60% of the height, and a section in the west that is about 50% of the height of the center section. Both sections on the side are thinner than the square shaped center, and are deliniated from the center by a strip of what seems to be chrome steel. The building is white, with stone facade strips running along side, protruding past and separating the tall and thin windows.. Ever section tapers slightly so that the top of the building is slightly thinner than the base, and ever corner has a small stainless steel spire. The building must be thirty or so stories tall. In Manehattan or even Fillydelphia would be a fairly ordinary, if above average building, blending into the skyline and maybe half the height of the Crystaler building. But this is Baltimare, where low rises dominate, and this building is one of only a hoof full of skyscrapers. It is visible almost anywhere in the city.

They’ve always been a pain, but that’s been my job. Then they lit Manehattan on fire, and it seems to have spread here. Literally. An entire pier was set on fire, a ship crew murdered, then a big raid on the old poorhouse. Now customs has a continuous presence on every pier. They even keep political police around, to discourage bribes. It used to be simple to smuggle animals out. Hide them in a warehouse, then wait for a time when customs was not there. They never checked ships going out, only in. Now, they even keep guards by the warehouses. It’s harder to smuggle at the main docks.”

“Well, securing the means of transport is the issue right now. All ships coming into the harbor are searched, sometimes they are even intercepted at sea. While ships leaving the harbor are not searched, the warehouses are guarded. So it’s a matter of using smaller boats to meet up with the larger ships. The first thought would be rowboats, but those are not large enough to leave the harbor, and would be kind of suspicious if they went further. Fishing trawlers can go further, but are suspicious next to freighters, and may end up searched anyways. So the plan is to avoid the harbor all together. The community of North Point has fishing trawlers that have gone unused since the War cut off export of cod to Griffonia. They are less likely to be searched, and can go far enough to pick up crates with floats attached to them, dropped off outside the harbor. And that is my business model. Until they change things again, anyways.”

"Well, either way, there is another hang up in North Point. Some of the trawlers have been bought up by a fishing company that is known, by us at least, to be a front for the Ginovicci crime family out of Bronc and Manehattan. Rumor has it one of their leaders even bought a house in North Point. This has never been an issue before, given how unimportant North Point was to us, or even to them...

"They are a splinter of a much larger syndicate in Wingbardy, and are no small players in Manehattan. Not at all. This is a very power family known to have many hitgriffs and carry out many killings. I don't think they will cow easily."

"If I had to say any one thing, make them think there are more of you, and more of you coming. If possible, try to make them think they are under attack from a political faction - any of them. Money is a powerful force, and a powerful motivator. But it loses against ideology. Money isn't worth dying for, ideology is. They know this, and they fear the political factions because of it."

Makade walks in rather angrily
"We've had others involve themselves on their terms for a thousand years now! Ever since the ponies came in and drove our kind into the darkest forests we have been, at best, vassals of the ponies, unable to do much without their prior approval. We know outsiders do not share our ideals. The ponies' ideal has been to dominate over everything around them, be it rocks in the earth, the trees, or other creatures. This is nothing new for us, only for you ponies, to experience for yourselves what we have for for many years. We are not going to get involved in any offensive matter that leaves our own lands unguarded. Not without reward or benefit."

Waabishki bares her teeth towards Maakade, but remains in a serious stance when she turns back towards Spark
"I don't think you understand. We are weak. We know we cannot fight our enemies off forever, or by decisive force. That is why I had faith in you, what I thought you were here for. When you came you I though you could help us to secure peace, or at least, to secure backing. Now you tell us you fight.... something. Changelings, is it? We have fought Changelings before, and of that Makade can tell you better than I. We do not want more war, certainly not unsupported war. That will destroy us."

"The Popular Front usually wear no clothes or civilian clothes, save for a black and red bandanna, tied around the head or covering the muzzle. The Equestrian Liberation Front can vary, they prefer to have old Equestrian military uniforms. When this fails, they wear civilian clothes, often with a small Equestrian flag bandanna or cloth protruding from a pocket, or if no clothes, then the same flag bandanna or cloth around the neck. Garrison troops will always wear uniform, generally khaki or dark green. SSA will be completely normally clothed in the scouts, but wear black uniforms in raids.."

"...I think the Popular Front are the most likely to try and kick their flanks, considering their whole murdering and upholding those ideals they despise," Iron offers thoughtfully "not to mention it will have the added effect of potentially antagonizing the wrong ponies and and be seen by the majority as a bunch of rabid killers even more."

"Popular Front is... 'Decentralized.' Some of them follow a hierarchical structure and many of them are, well, the exact opposite of that. Some of them have no issue with the gangs and some of them do. In order to sell this, you have to make them believe there is a particular reason why they are being targeted, and how they were found out. The bad reputation of the gangs isn't necessarily enough. Not when almost no one knows they are there."

"However powerful you may be, they will not be afraid of you. Beatings, even killings are all just a part of the business. They are not afraid of any one pony, or other creature.... But if you are just the first taste of something bigger, especially if it isn't just business to you... They might not care to stick around. And if you are into business... well, maybe they could be put into a negotiating kind of mood with a strong enough kick to the head."

Silver can see that the more easterly portion of the Quarry has a higher elevation, and thus lower water. At some portions, mud and branches stick out of the water, with trees and dirt having evidently accumulated over the bottom of the quarry as time went on. These are what Feather Duster spent most of his time moving. Now, Feather Duster is by the damaged and blown out entrance, moving these rocks to the side. Dr. Grant is by the entrance as well, looking at bricks. On one cloth is the fleshy particles Silver and Mala, the remains of what was Green Basin, parts of a mare in a decayed white dress, and a Mummified pony. On another canvas is pieces of armor, a ruined bicycle, a lantern, and a sheathed large sword.

Feather Duster stops, and looks at Mala kind of strangely as he approaches.

Silver can't help but look over at the sword as he trots to the two ponies. If it's any comfort to the two professors, Silver seems relaxed while around Mala. He points out the sword on the tarp to the professors.

Feather duster speaks for the first time. His voice is a bit higher, younger, and less polished than Grant's or Peer Review's

"It was right there" he points with a wing to a bare spot sort of in the center of the rocky area.
"Next to the... to the, to the body with armor"
