Personally, I wouldn't know what's slow and what's fast since I am one of about 13 unlucky people still using this thing called dial-up. I just love it when broadband users complain about things like this--of course, McNeill, I don't know what you're using, but it's still beside the point. If there's one thing you learn from using dial-up in the broadband age of intricate graphics and animations and countless pictures on every page of every website, it's patience. On 56k, dialing in somewhere around 42+k, this site loads perfectly fine, with perhaps 2-3 seconds between clicks, and much less usually when just hitting "Back." Horrible, isn't it? ;-)
And when someone hands you something free, you don't say, "Hey, Gift Horse, I'm looking you in the mouth and saying, 'Gimme more free stuff because I like spitting in the face of tried-and-true adages.'"
Moral: Shut yer yappin, and start yer tappin.*
