TinyMCE editor causes slow to load! Has anyone observed it especially when it intializes the editor for first time in the webpage? it takes about 5-10 seconds to load.
I am facing this terrible problem with my site. Everything seem to work fine including loading when i used the editor in my local PC as local host. But when i uploaded the editor to my server and tested it, it causes slow loading when it loads the first page. After then every other page is free from any problems.
i read in the tinymce forum and it was suggested there to install a php compressor plugin and could improve the loading. I did try using that plugin and seems nothing to improve the slow loading of the first page.
Curious to know anybody had fixed this bizarre problem! I have put so much time in customizing the editor and it looks like i have to move for another editor.

I know this is an old post, but in case someone encounters this: slow loading can also be caused by incorrect headers set on your server, which causes your browser to load all images each time again. You can test this with FireBug or the like and monitor the Net requests.
Also, if the loading is only 5-10 seconds, I think you are still lucky. You say it only loads slow for the first page. That’s not really a problem: all images and javascripts must be downloaded. Make sure your browser doesn’t clear cache on exit, so you can benefit from the cache the next time you visit the page.
