So I took a peek at your tracks from yesterday.

Looks like the first page you looked at took nearly two minutes to fully load. I don't blame you at all for getting frustrated on that one. There were some other very odd anomalies that make absolutely no sense to me. You looked at like what, 6 pages?

IMO - When I click on a link in this site, I expect the page requested to instantly appear unless I know it's a time intensive page. Patience is usually required on those. Such is life.
After 1 second of waiting, I might blink.
After 2 seconds, I may make a face.
After 4 seconds, OK, yup, I'm a little annoyed now.
After 8 seconds I'm a bit pissed considering what I pay at both ends.
After 16 seconds I'll try to find something more interesting.
After 32 seconds, I'll consider calling because it may be repeatable after touchtone hell and (the usual stuff) - IF and when my timing is absolutely perfect and I expect my experience will be easily reproducible.

IMCO - I know this server better than I'd like to. What I don't know is what sort of virus protection you're running not to mention when it was last updated or run. Considering your tracks, that would be where I'd suggest you take a good look.

If everyone chimed in and agreed things were slow, well, now there's something I could point to and perhaps do something about. It is slower than I'd like to see but all I can truly fine tune to my liking at the moment is the master on/off switch on a somewhat individual basis. The things I can't control seem a bit better today than yesterday... Everyone's mileage may vary a little bit. Yours, I expect, is way outside the norm unless a bunch of people chime in to tell me otherwise.
