1 button speed performance - any serious change?

[Kickedout]

A month ago had to remove the +1 Google button due to horrendous performance, it was impossible to load pages without some 30 secs before the rest of content on page showed up.

I've heard Google improved that but I don't feel sure to put it over again.

Have anyone experienced the improvement recently (10th August 2011)

Just going by our experience here on WebmasterWorld (where I spend a lot of time every day) I can say I'm not seeing page loads hanging up anymore waiting for Google's server - and that certainly was a common experience not too long ago.
