You have good points there....
I think the management of 3speak should work on that part because such delay will discourage alot of people from using the platform,we all want a fast and effective platform and that is why they need to work more on the delay that is happening whenever they are trying to encode a video,the fast uploads is one of the things that made youtube to become popular today,so 3speak needs to work on their features if they want to be great too....
