Less flash ads
-
I've noticed a tendency of many sites these days to use heavy amounts of flash. The trouble is I use tabbed browsing and something about the adobe flash plugin starts to cause problems when there is a lot flash around. This leads to the browser using 90~95% cpu usage and after a while it will have problems like being unable to change tabs, menus taking a long time to appear, etc (I found this with ssc when I had about 8 tabs open to different forum posts). I've even noticed that some of the ads are flash ads mearly to make a little bit of text animate slightly whilst the rest of the ad was static.

There's already a thread started on this subject and you are not the only one complaining. The bottom line is that sqlservercentral has signed a contract to test this advertising for 2 months.
Corrections will most likely be made at then end of this period.

Wow, two months of having to put up with these adds. My pages just lock some times with these adds.
Well if SQL Lightspeed is going to screw up my viewing of these pages for the next two months, then let me throw this out for discussion.
I can buy a terrabyte of very fast RAID 5 disk space for about $1000, but it will cost me $2500 to install SQL LightSpeed. I like the product, but I can get alot more use out of my Terabyte of disk space than compressing my 100 GIG database nightly. I can keep a full month online ( last 7 days, plus 3 weekly backups)

That's the power of information

For large databases and backups that are transfered over a network speed and size would be an issue.
Such as if you were copying the backups to an offsite location. That or the backups only have a limited window in which they can run.
