Wow, strange.....a while ago I *did* notice a wee bit of slowdown, but right now it seems to be going at it's fastest in a while. True, I did just get rid of windowblinds and I've noticed a VAST improvement in overall speed, (firefox now loads in a couple seconds as opposed to eight...) but it shouldn't effect PGC loading times that much, and even if it does, there's still absolutley no slowdown for me.....
