@anusharma Might just drop by at around 3.
@anusharma Are you in Delhi?
@rakeshrach Means a lot coming from you.
@aditya I get your funda here. I had something different in mind though. I’ll let you know if we ever get around to optimising the IK site.
@aditya Thanks for taking the time. I have a few ideas on reverting this to native scroll, but keen to see how you’ve tackled this.
@aditya Can you reload the page in a window less than ~970px wide (to disable custom scroll) and see if that dramatically reduces load?
@aditya Yup. No doubt that browser scrolling would’ve been ideal.
@aditya You’re right about the scroll/margins, but it works quite smoothly on my much older MBP. That’s why we didn’t optimise further.
@icashmir @B_Nazir Thanks! Ashvin Kumar did the hard work with his film. We just helped him bring that to the web. @souvikdg
@aditya That bad eh… What system/specs are you on? Any particular bottlenecks you identified?
@rakeshrach Thanks Rakesh. Full credit to Ian Coyle’s Edits Quarterly http://t.co/eH9xv4s2[+] for the scroll inspiration.

@anexasajoop No, but I’ve heard good things about both. Oh and I missed Diva Piccola (featured on Belly Centric http://t.co/bzdtUeuv[+])
@anexasajoop Hmm, new might be difficult. I suppose you’ve already done the rounds of Yeti, Pot Belly, Boheme, Lah, Mamagoto etc.?
