I figured this might appear on hacker news soon enough. If anyone has any questions about the tech behind this microsite (although it is pretty straightforward) let me know. We developed the site and the hosting to account for an enormous amount of traffic in a very short period of time. So far everything is working fine.

Very poor usability on chrome osx. Clicking next takes 2-3 seconds before the next slide shows...

The slideshare embed is having some issues. We added a link to download the PDF directly until slideshare works that out.

when I tried to view using firefox, the cpu bar kept high eating all the memory and unresponsive. I saw in firebug net tab that every slide was being fetch from slideshare in a loop. Does not happen in chrome.

I can confirm that Slideshare is eating all CPU, maybe use Speaker Deck: https://speakerdeck.com/

Or start using HTML for slides. like with text and stuff, not images.

I think it's a SlideShare issue unrelated to this site. On my system, SlideShare bumps the CPU usage up to 50% or more in both Firefox and Chrome.

Thanks. We had another report of that too, unfortunately we do not have much control over the slideshare embed, but we are working with them on it.
