How fast are the daemons supposed to load?
If you are running TEST locally (installed in your PC), it takes less than two seconds even for the most demanding daemon to load. Over the net, the loading time depends on the speed of the internet connection. The first time you access a page, it is generally very sluggish. However, because modern versions of the browsers cashes frequently accessed modules, the access speed rapidly increases the more you access TEST. So, before you assess the speed of your connection, access a daemon several times. Typically a daemon should load within 4-5 seconds if TEST is locally mirrored in your institution and about 5-10 seconds if you are accessing TEST from a really remote mirror. TEST can be mirrored freely by any academic institutions. Mirroring allows unlimited free access to any user within the domain of the institution.
