Hello,
I'd like to clarify that while this change may not be seen as "necessary" to the users,
this change was a technical need in order to make SimilarWorlds load faster on a number of devices and/or networks (such as a very slow wifi/3G).
In those extreme cases, it could well go from "taking 5 seconds to load SW", to "load SW almost instantly".
While "5 seconds" may not seem much, studies and stats show that every second causes frustration and users to drop-off.

@SW-Admin I dunno... I can see the value in weeding out SWeeps with less patience
