Gotta ask..
Is it me? Or my high speed cable. Or my T-3 at work? Or my 3G? Or is GC becoming the slowest server on the interweb? Seems like it slows down by the day. Painful.
I'd appreciate knowing if the issue is isolated to just me.

It was super slow for me for about 2 weeks but then picked back up again. I don't really know why it happened... it was odd, man.

I've also noticed poor response times from the pages here on two different cable Internet providers.

Because 4g is faster than t-3? It comes and goes. But seems to be mostly gone the past few weeks.

It's an issue we are aware of and it will be addressed when we redesign the entire site platform. Most of that goes over my head, but I think it has something to do with the hundreds of thousands of pages on the site since GC has been around the longest.

Nah, it's the ads and other assorted 3rd party scripts.
I did a quick analysis of page speed a couple of months back. There were two primary issues:
1. The ads and the loads of other external stuff (tynt, et al) loaded onto the page. This is largely alleviated by installing adblock right now.
2. An issue with their DNS host that had a very short TTL (~ 2 seconds). They've fixed this.
So in short, install adblock, add these into your adblock rules:
http://google-analytics.com/*
http://tcr.tynt.com/*
And loads as fast / faster than Tigerdroppings, etc.

Agreed, it's these $hitty ads.. thinking about going back to Insider just to get rid of them.. they suck.. probably shouldn't post that since it's an incentive to make more $ if they leave them up.

Are you suggesting Adblock Plus or Pro, which are premium, or Simple Adblock, which I think is some kind of free close copy of Adblock?

Well there are ways, some easier than others. You can download portableapps and add the Google chrome portable app on it and install ad block at home. Then when at work you just pop in your USB, open up Chrome portable and bam! No ads.
