Too bad for all that work, it just got worse.

The photo view experience on Flickr is slower than any of its competitors. Slow slow sloooooow.

Plus recently, some of my photos have started to break (as in broken images).

It just feels like it's dead.

Incremental improvements (that aren't always improvements) aren't what Flickr needs. They need some vision and balls.

Hi, sorry you've had some difficulties with the site. We've made performance a big focus on the photo page but there's other sections of the site we're still trying to make faster. Regarding the broken images, we should be all clear on that (we recently brought up a new image cluster), so if you're still seeing that, let me know. I'm caudill @ yahoo-inc.com.
