 * I don’t know if it’s conflicting with another plugin but it drags the site down
   to a crawl and basically kills it. I really liked this plugin. Hopefully it can
   be fixed. I’ve de-installed it. Off to try cometchat.com.

 * author acknowledges in one of the many threads here that quick chat can indeed
   slow down a site specially if it’s in the sidebar and you got tons of visitors
   looking at it at the same time.

 * I love this plugin, but darn it, the entire site loads at about 25% of speed 
   compared to when the plugin is not activated. I’m afraid such slow site loading
   is scaring away lots of potential visitors. I have a separate chat room for each
   blog entry. Would things speed up if all of the blog entries shared the same 
   default chat room? Is there anything else I can do to optimize Quick Chat so 
   that it doesn’t drag the site to a crawl?

 * My host doesn’t even allow chat scripts. I am using the free chatango now without
   issue. It’s off site served.

 * One apparent improvement was to give all of the different chat rooms the same
   name in the parameter settings. When each different page had its own chat room,
   that appeared to be too much for the plugin to handle. For example: [quick-chat
   height=”300″ room=”default” userlist=”1″ userlist_position=”left” smilies=”1″
   send_button=”0″ loggedin_visible=”1″ guests_visible=”1″ avatars=”1″ counter=”
   1″] Here, each room is named “default”. The site performance, including administration,
   is still noticably degraded, but at lest I have a chat room. Now, all visitors
   on the site are in the same chat room. Since it’s not a really busy site, that’s
   OK.
