If their "goal" was to speed up the loading of the Tavern panel, especially the 1st time after logging into the game and/or refreshing the screen, then so far it has been the complete opposite and is yet another epic fail. Not only is it taking even longer now (almost twice as long), but it now as the added little icon and loading bar, that makes it so that I can't just click and exit it (before it would fully load) like I use to do, but instead have to wait until it finally opens up, before I can do anything else.
