I just received a Thing Dev board with intentions of migrating my project from NodeMCU to Thing.

My project consists of reading data from a shift register and displaying it on a web page. Upon loading my sketch I found that it took a relative long time before the ssid was transmitted and once visible it took several attempts to connect. Once connected and webpage loaded it would often time out before loading completely.

This sketch is tested and working fine on NodeMCU, given that both use the same ESP8266-12E and 26Mhtz xtal I am very confused why the performance is so poor on the Thing compared to the NodeMCU?
