Steemit Performance Issues

Am I the only one, or is Steemit having too many performance issues? I joined steemit about 10 days ago. I do love the concept and find the features really great, but its performance and reliability disappointed me so far.

• First of all, it is generally too slow to load pages, process upvotes, and send posts. For me, if such an action takes more than 2 seconds, it is too slow. Now I understand this build on blockchain and transactions take longer time, but this slowness can really impact the platform's global penetration.

• Second, often times I get errors when I post, upvote, comment, or re-steem. Sometimes I just give up and move on. I am afraid too many users are facing similar issues, leading to huge wastes overall in authoring and curation efforts.

• Last, but not least, the post form/page must always save automatically whatever the user enters. Should any error occur, the user has to be able to restart and resume his work. Users may spend a considerable amount of time authoring a post and they might not have a backup of it. The most frustrating thing that can happen is to lose hours of effort.

Excuse me if there is another forum to report and discuss these issues. I am not yet familiar with all steemit features.
