Hello Amber,

I have mentioned this elsewhere, but the JQuery Table sort, while cool, can
really slow down Circ, even in Chrome to some degree when there are many items
checked out. If your staff do not use it on the circ page (you can leave it in
elsewhere), commenting the few lines out should speed the circ up for most
libraries. 

Our staff did not use that table sort too much on the circ page, and taking it
out made a world of difference. If you still need to print, Firefox 4 should be
faster but will not solve the speed issues associated with that JQuery sort on
the check-out page.

Any developers want to weigh in on this? Is it still a feature if it causes
problems for some?

-Good Luck.
