In my installation of the GBS (using Koha), I have found serious response problems with GBS API, and since it is a script, the page stops loading until the script finishes. I have had to redo my pages to make sure that the script loads toward the end of the page.
Has anyone else had this problem? Perhaps it's just poor connections in Italy, but I think we have good connections here.
