For about two months I used the Sphere Related Content plugin. It’s a nice concept, readers can get related posts from other sources at a click – I don’t really have usage stats though. But that was not the problem: performance was. I saw the ‘waiting for sphere’ message at the status line way too often. Too bad – I had to remove it. If you found it useful, apologies, but performance comes first.

Hi Zoli,
We’re sorry to see you unplug the Sphere Related Content plugin. We saw an issue in May/June with the status line showing “transferring data from http://www.sphere.com“, which turned out to be related to a bug in Firefox (some more detail here: http://sphere.wordpress.com/2007/05/25/sphere-related-content-is-very-fast-to-load/). This sounds like the same symptoms you’re describing. Are you using Firefox? I’d like to track this issue down for you so that you can get back into the Sphere.
