Fetching Captcha Image is really slow on testwiki
Closed, InvalidPublic

Description

The amount of latency is about 4-5s on my machine. Equivalent for regular thumbs is much lesser.

Captchas are bad UX-wise, doubly so on a mobile phone (where i am on) and even worse when they are so slow.

I've been testing it on testwiki.
