 * If I specify that I only want to display the 2 newest posts, are these the only
   two that will actually get loaded? Or will a lot of other posts and their images
   get loaded in the background but not displayed? Asking this since this plugin
   adds 1-2 seconds of load time and 2-3 mb to the page load because of all the 
   uncompressed images on the facebook group.
 * And on that note, is there any way to compress the images before they get loaded?

 * Hey Skalders!
 * If you are limiting the number of posts via the Options, then we pass that limit
   in our request to Facebook (so we are only loading the two latest items instead
   of their entire feed and then throwing away the extra.) That should help with
   your load time.
 * There is not currently a way to compress the images before they get loaded – 
   we are stuck using the images as available via the FB CDN. You do have the option
   to use thumbnails instead of the fullsized images, and thumbnails are compressed(
   however, they may be too small for your purposes.)
 * I hope that helps!
 * All the best,
    Richard
