Is it, or would it be possible, to define how the different tabs are loaded. At the moment all panels in a panel region are loaded together at once, which means if you have some tabs the result is quite a long loading time. E.g. on a profile page with many, many tabs.

To have better performance one could only load the first tab and the others on clicking or, after loading the first tab show the result and load then the others.

In my example when you go to a profile page, you get an empty page area for a while until all tabs are loaded (posts, topics, comments, friends ....)

I love this module, because to me this is the only way I found out to manage complicated tab access rules, because visibility rules within panels rock. I found no other way. "Normal" tabs I only can configure within views, and there the access rules are limited.

Having the ability to load a tab via ajax after page load would indeed be a great feature, but does involve a fair bit of work.

Work needs doing on the panels side (to allow the panes to be retrieved via ajax) and on the tabs side (to allow ajax and have good fallback for those without javascript).

There is also a similar issue on Quicktabs (which supports ajax loading for blocks & views but not panes) issue queue (#236925: Panels 3 as tab content) with people asking for that functionality.

I am monitoring all of this and if anything happens that makes it easier I will definitely consider adding it.

Congrats smoothify for another great module!

I'm a fan of Panels and I'm looking forward for the advances in this Ajax loading feature.
