I agree that the deal itself is quite fast; competitive at least. It's the interstitial times that get somewhat painful, especially posting the antes in order in Stud games. Add this to autoposting being significantly slower than other sites and a quite long delay for the pot to be shipped and there's a lot of time between hands.

I just counted and there are five full seconds between the winner of a hand being determined and the start of the next hand. That's extremely slow and should be fairly easy to speed up.

Edit: by the start of the next hand I mean when SB is asked to post. That five seconds is all pot-shipping time.

This is spot on, please read this Lee. Deal is very fast without animation but the all-in's and time between hands etc is what slows things down a lot compared to other sites.
