I did shoot over and jump around simplycichlids and it was quicker than jumping around here but you are only talking a couple seconds. i am using cable at home right now. there is a noticeable difference but its not like i have to wait 10 minutes. Couple a seconds is about it (the green load bar takes a little longer to load and it depends on where you jump to. If you are going from a thread to simply main page, it is a little more slower than any other jump. I didnt really even concern myself with it because it was so minor but some may just have different settings and local internet querks (sp?) There will always be growing pains
