Ok gang, after testing the subdomains for the last few weeks, I've now properly moved us over to running on a CDN.
What does this mean for you guy?
Well, all the images, javascript and css is now served from a server close to your physical location, rather than needing to come across from the FF main servers in NY.
Believe it or not, those pesky little images do make a big difference - and the plus side is, the FF servers don't have to deal with loads of little requests any more, so page generation could possibly speed up too
It's going to take a while to propagate to everyone - so you might not notice it until tomorrow, but it's running on my machine now and makes a hell of a difference
If you want to know if you've switched - drop to a dos prompt and ping "i.fiatcdn.com" - if it's anything other that 67.202.103.222, then you're hooked into the new system (and if you're in the UK, most likely picking it up from Amsterdam)
nJoy!
