Drop or optimise requests for realtime-easybacklog.dotcloud.com

There seem to be a number of operations that delay completion waiting for calls to this domain, which do not resolve. This causes unnecessary delay. It is not obvious to an end user why this is required.

Hi metacentric
Thanks for the feedback.
Realtime.easybacklog.com is a real time long polling (works in all browsers whereas web sockets don't currently) that ensures that when two or more people are simultaneously making changes to a backlog they are notified of that. It's run from a separate domain to the main execution of web and AJAX requets an in all of our tests so far has not interfered with the web application at all.
Can you describe the problem you are experiencing? Also, what browser are you using on what OS?
Thanks,
Matt

First time I noticed it was trying to add a Theme to the sample project. I clicked the button and the browser status bar showed polling URL for a long time and did not show the theme name input at all. I had a similar case later on but can't remember the detail, the application UI was not responding. 


Thanks for the detail.  We'll look into this shortly, however we are intending to migrate people onto WebSockets with a fall back for older browsers only, so this will solve that problem anyway.  As soon as we either implement a fix or update the library we'll be sure to let you know.  Apologies for any inconvenience in the mean time.
