I just installed a fresh copy of Wedge on a sub-folder of wedge.org and then a sub-folder of cynagames.com (which is hosted at my old host), and... Well, I'm not getting the same speeds. The OVH (cynagames) version is much more responsive. It gives me the same parsing times (less than 0.1s per page), but I actually get pages fast.
So, quite obviously -- my current hosting isn't as good as I was hoping it would be. Well, honestly I wasn't really hoping -- because if it was half as good as I wanted, it would mean that *Wedge* itself is slower than SMF. Which isn't the case.
Unfortunately, I also realized that Wedge is slower than SMF 1.x, but there's a good reason for that -- SMF 2.0, while it added many nice features, is also very bloated: the size of all CSS and JavaScript files was multiplied by 4 or 5, or something like that. All I've been doing in Wedge was to try and make it faster and shorter. Because it relies on jQuery, it's never going to be able to catch up, but at some point I'll just have to be satisfied that it's (nearly) as fast as feature-light SMF 1.1 installs.
Anyway-- I was wondering if any of you guys were willing to share your web hosting space (preferably something very solid, with daily backups and so on!), because I don't know if there's any point in advertising Wedge when all people can see is that it's very slow for them -- before they actually even try to install it.
