It *is* dependent on network traffic for stuff like seat maps and seems reluctant to cache too much data (so it doesn't give you out-of-date info, I presume). So if you have a high-latency internet connection that might be part of the problem.
"Speedy" is just NOT a word I'd ever use for my iPhone app.
Ping is about 11 ms for me right now on my office Wifi. Still takes forever. Granted, it does take long on cell at the airport.
