"(3) Will this most wonderful site be 'faster' when the 'changeover' actually is
                             completed?" (Question asked above by TallPockets) .......

"3.  We hope so" -- (Answer given above by StaceyG).

StaceyG: Hello, again kind soul. I 'hope' so? Please, kindly tell me that you're being 'sarcastic' towards old, grumpy TallPockets and that you do not actually mean or are saying that your technical people truly do not know if the site speed will increase and by how much they expect to increase after this changeover or haven't so informed you of what the results of the completed changeover will be?

Myself, and many I have spoken with over the last many months, have all been under the 'distinct' impression from many staff postings in the forum areas that this new, improved changeover would result in such increases. Have we 'all' misunderstood such comments?

Respectfully, TallPockets.
