Consider upgrading to Firefox 3 and double the speed of 5pm interface

Following up on our post about 5pm supporting Firefox 3, we did run a couple of tests and here are the results:

5pm UI speed in different browsers

We measured the relative time it takes to render the main 5pm screens. As you can see, Firefox 3 is more than twice as fast as Firefox 2 - an amazing speed improvement. So, if you are still using Firefox 2, you may consider upgrading.

Fastest, by far, is still Safari, with IE 6 and IE 7 performing about the same and still slower than the other browsers.

5pm has a very quick interface that requires less clicks and will run fast in all the supported browsers.

5pm adds more integration with Google products

5pm + Google Calendar

We added a couple of new features during the past weeks:

  • Authentication-less iCalendar synchronization - now you can use it with Google Calendar. Check this Help section for details and take advantage of this powerful combination.
  • Import new user profiles directly from your Google Gmail account.
  • Add multiple user profiles at once - a quick way to set up your whole team in 5pm.
  • Screen auto-refresh - no need to manually reload the screen anymore in order to see what changes have been done by other team members (very useful when running 5pm on a second screen in a dual-monitor configuration).
