Hey,
Tonight I couldn't browse many sites like SPCR, Slashdot, [H], but other sites that run no/very little ads like XtremeSystems and RFD load no sweat. I recall seeing this article about Javascript slowing down the loading of webpages.
After disabling Javascript, everything loads very fast. With it enabled, I see Firefox waiting for Google analytics and syndication. Pretty frustrating.
Suggestion #1 from that article is making use of the defer tag. Could SPCR perhaps implement this?
