using exploder 7 at work your page typically takes several minutes to load. The first story or two will load and I will be done reading them before the rest of the page or the sidebar has loaded.

Same here. I sometimes go off to read something else and forget to come back!

Doc, have you ever considered a FAQ for the site. We do seem to have to answer the same questions over and over again?

Same here. I noticed the page mainly hangs with the message “Waiting for http://digg.com/tools/…..”
10-20 Seconds for each of the stories on a page. The more stories are on a page, the more often it hangs at “Waiting for digg..”, like for Godot

It tends to load slow for me. I generally have to wait 10 – 15 seconds for the page to load.

Wow that is pretty slow. It pops right up for me. TomT, what browser are you using?
I am still on Firefox 2 on this machine. I have Firefox 3 on my other machine. I’ll try it on that and see what happens.

still?

No actually this morning is loaded quite nicely. I did see a surge of CPU activity but nothing like last night where one of the cores went red and the other maxed out at about 90% processing. This morning there was probably a 1 – 1.5 second surge of 70 – 80% activity when it loaded. And it loaded snappily too.
