We have had multiple comments regarding LZ-Live, some say it's too fast, some say it's too slow, what do you think?

Can you clarify what you mean?
I think most are referring to the backlog. So when you go to the page, it show's the last 20? posts, then it starts showing the new.
I think some are thinking they are all new posts coming in.
I'd prefer the backlog as fast as possible.

Definitely mean the backlog, can't speed up people's posting habits 
The new posts can be slow but its the delay when you first hit the page.. If I was sat on LZLIVE read them all I would be happy when it slowly scrolls up a new post.
The problem is on first visits waiting for all 20 before doing anything is annoying. First load should be instant then load after than as it is now...
We don't ask for much do we

Yep, I'd rather it loaded as quickly as possible so I can then read posts.

Is there no way to cache it for a certain amount of time? (I've not looked into it at all being lazy)
similar to
Load page lock a cookie with timestamp
then if you reload the page the existing data will already be there and it will just have to load any new posts since that time stamp?
As I said I've not looked at the code/structure so don't even know if this is possible just a suggestion

you generally cache to prevent server load or reduce response time as it adds unneeded complexity.
the current way will be a poll to which will filter by previous post id or time. then it probably returns json with the posts.
if there is not a setting in the addon for a display speed.. not poll interval, then the easiest way would be to modify the addon client js to display the posts asap/whatever you choose.

I have no idea what any of that means but I am finding it annoying skipping back and forth to live and waiting for the page to reload from scratch.
Having two tabs open helps, one for viewing live and one for going to thread to thread. Not ideal though

I haven't slept since Thursday :/
you know what I meant though.
Take the forums they pull everything first then display.
So a similar setup for the live would suffice. Ie load all before last time stamp. Make the "live" call.

aight, i think it does does get a bulk response, just the js is displaying one by one. so it could show very fast. i've only had a quick peek though. should be easy enough to fix, you can do it if you want

yeah i'll have a look. i'm away until next week tomorrow though, so it mightn't be instant.Yup, no settings in the live addon, @trax I can send you the js, if you could speed it up it would be appreciated by all
if you have the unobfuscated src from https://www.landyzone.co.uk/js/liveupdate/min/update.js that would be useful
