So you'd be happy to wait 4-5 seconds to allow a page to load?

It already takes pages (from time to time) to load, 3-4 seconds. Increase in one second isn't a whole lot. Plus, with such a bland approach to design, people lose interest in the looks and the lack of interactive elements is a sure way to give people the feeling of; "what can I actually do?". Not to mention the lack of Blaze features. Approaches such as this aims to fix that. "Where there is light, shadows are sure to follow." Meaning, you cannot have the best of two worlds. However, in this case, the good out weight the bad by a lot. So yes, I would easily be okay with having to wait another second or two to have a overall better time at the site.

(Heck I wait longer when I swap songs on Spotify or change Youtube video.)

Pretty sure this will still be a problem since it was all the custom images making lots of loading.

Unless the patterns are made into a sprite-sheet of sorts. Then not so much of a problem.

Apparently, after a whooping 5 minutes of testing, they concluded that it would increase the load times too much. Though I severely doubt they tried to limit the sizes properly, which is the same approach Facebook, Instagram and so on use. It might decrease the quality of images slightly, but in return it barely affects the overall loading times. That and there have been several forums in the past with an approach like this. The highest loading time that it ever reached was 9 seconds and on average it was 4-5 seconds. (Less on stronger connections.) Meaning it is very well possible.

This is actually pretty cool tbh, love the design.

Not a fan of the circles at all
