I can't help but think that the only way Turbolinks should speed anything up is if browser and/or server are broken. https://github.com/rails/turbolinks …
@avdi it doesn’t re-download assets or re-run JS. Not a super huge speedup, but there can be one.

@steveklabnik@avdi avoiding a redownload of assets is just a matter of properly caching them, no? -
@christiaanvdp@avdi possibly. the browser still makes conditional GETs, which wouldn’t happen

@steveklabnik I'm trying to understand why a well-written site would re-download assets on every page load. -
@avdi when your browser hits a page, if certain things are cached, conditional GETs get made. they won’t in this instance. - Show replies

@steveklabnik and the site cites not "recompiling" JS with every load which... surely Chrome et. al. take care of this already??? -
@avdi I think he’s talking about the asset pipeline there, personally. - Show replies

Loading seems to be taking a while.
