57ms from your tracert is good.
O.K.

That all went (whoosh) way over my head.

Question for you though, since you seem to know your stuff...I'm running Opera, and (don't tell Doug but) I have the browser set to block the ads. Would I still have the slow loads from "the javascipt loading the ads"?

Also, why would there be a variation in apparent website responsiveness if it were a javascript issue?

Oh, and a third question ( ), would it help Doug troubleshoot the issue if I ran some of the other programs like you just did (pathping and viewing the source)?

(I am sooooo over my head here.)
