Slow, slow, quick, quick, slow AAS

[slitchfield]

Just a quick poll. I've been finding AAS pages very slow to load recently (I'm on UK ISP Easynet) but Rafe's had no problems with access through his ISP in the East of England.

If anyone else is having problems with site speed, could they post here with details? e.g. ISP being used, browser being used, symptoms seen? Thanks.

As a guide, when I try and load the front page of AAS, there's a delay of up to six seconds before anything happens, then the text is gradually loaded, followed sequentially by the various elements, until the page is finally complete, with toolbar drop-downs, at around 25 to 30 seconds. Is anyone else seeing the same? Or is it blindingly fast for you? Rafe and I are somewhat stumped by the problem.....
