[Plugin: IntenseDebate Comments] IntenseDebate : performance

Hi,

Just a little topic to talk about the performance of this plugin.

This a disaster !

With Yslow, I counted 9 javascript file, for more than 600kb of data !
4 just for intensedebate,
2 facebook connect API files :

https://static.ak.facebook.com/connect.php/en_US/js/Api/CanvasUtil/Connect/XFBML

each of them weight 222 kb,
…

Intensedebate JS file are NOT minified,
images are not smush,

and I don’t look more deeper!

well, it seems that it is NOT optimized AT ALL.

This plugin have very cool feature, but it is too heavy. I don’t know if I’m going to unistall it, but it might !
