O.K. we can do a few things to speed things up (move the PM stuff to the "Profile" section, and nix the Chat, since it isn't used much).

But it is best if you guys do the "Trace Route" thing in the link above, and email me the output. It won't be helpful if we remove features, if the problem is from a a few ISPs, since things may remain slow, regardless of changes. I just did a test, and the main forum page loads in 2 seconds for me.

Wa'il
