the first two or three version were unbearably slow and awkward, but since the 'card' redesign, it's reactive (coming from a fps fetishist on a 2006 laptop) and usable. When G+ came, FB had all this in place, their html framework was hyper lean in all possible ways. Every time I had to use FB after G+ I was shocked to witness the difference. FB gained some weight since but it's still a smooth cut.

IMHO Google was somewhat psyched out by Facebook and made the classic mistake of copying their rival. Google+ is almost an exact copy of Facebook.
Yet it's so much worse...

Oddly, I still find G+ almost unusably slow on a fast Core i5-powered desktop. And I use it every day. Facebook's performance is much better.
Google+ is also better in many ways...
Sadly, these many ways are not my ways...
