You most likely will want to adjust your theme settings (style, windeco if relevant) if you are on a slow connection, as it is unlikely the defaults will be tuned for bandwidth rather than "prettiness". Oxygen in particular is likely to be a serious pig in its default configuration, although I hope we will be able to provide some knobs for people that really want to use oxygen. > Does anyone even test this?
