Huge performance improvements

I introduced a brand new way to synchronize you computer with lichess, called HTTP Push (aka Comet).

As a result, the game is now much faster! You will see your opponent moves in no time. This will make fast games more awesome. Try it, and tell me how fast it is for you :)

I can no longer abort a game after this update. When pressing abort game, the page updates and I get a "your turn" beep, but it doesn't actually abort the game.

I have huge performance issues now. I hope that they can be resolved as soon as possible. Everything is lagging which is funny as I thought that lag wouldn't be a problem in chess.

But this is really huge lag and I have to wait a long time for my moves to register and clicking on buttons sometimes doesn't even work.

Everything is laggy here now. Sorry man :(

Much worse. What at one point worked no longer does.

Can't find an opponent. Been waiting now for 30+ minutes now with 94 connected players. This is unusual with so many players online.

When cancelling(Waiting for opponent... Cancel) it doesn't cancel and now have to close browser tab(firefox 4) and restart.

Too everyone experiencing this problem that reads this.
I think two good options are:
1)Play only 20 minute games
2)Do something else (I dont mean to offend Thib its just painful to play at the moment).

It seems the problem has been fixed. Thanks!

In fact, not exactly. There is still a problem with the 5 sec delay between the moves.

Its now almost midnight (eastern standard time here).
Everything seems to be working fine again :)

Hey, sorry for the bugs guys. Every great improvements brings great bugs, that's it!
Should be fixed for good now
