Hey Brandon…
Was wondering if you ever found a way to improve the load times from 1.5.5? Looking forward to an update.
Yea and its committed to the github repository as 1.5.7 ( i’ll put a download link below for manual testing if you would like to try it ) but I have not released it yet officially because I want to add in some “work in progress” items that are semi related … e.g. turring on and off individual comment counts and a completed implementation of the template tags and shortcodes.
That said , 1.5.7 will likely never its self be released , the above work in progress items will be released as 1.5.8 or above … so you can safely try 1.5.7 ( i’m running it on cloudhero.net for a week or so now ) and then when 1.5.8 is released it will just show as an update like normal.
If this all seems greek to you then my best suggestion would be to just wait for the 1.5.8 release officially that i have tentatively penciled in to push out late this weekend as long as I have no huge road-bumps between here and there :)’

Cheers!
Not Greek at all! 🙂 I really appreciate you taking the time to reply, and for making the iterations and improvements that you are.
I will download and install 1.5.7 from Github now!
Thanks again!
Heads up on version 1.5.7 from Github (not sure about any other version):
I ran a plugin performance test with P3’s Plugin Performance Profiler and I found that Gplus Comments took a whopping 62.95% of the cake. This seriously needs to be addressed (as I’m sure you can appreciate). Look at the comparison with other plugins on the same site in question…
