Very Slow Site [merged]

Options
The site for me this evening is about the slowest I've seen for a while now.

It's taking up to 30 or 60 seconds for a page to load fully (the site seems very cluncky). This is every board I've looked at, and all the threads.

All other sites I've tried tonight are fast as they normally are. A speedtest has just told me my connection is working at full speed.

I'm using a Zen 2Mb connection.

    Sometimes it's important to work for that pot of gold...But other times it's essential to take time off and to make sure that your most important decision in the day simply consists of choosing which color to slide down on the rainbow...

    I've had this loads of times now since I started this thread. The site seems to be getting worse as the evening goes on (almost unusable at times).
