According to the feedback from the original poster of this thread, he has seen better performance from page loading. Also, on October 10, it looked like things were ok for me, but today I am seeing the same symptoms again, just not as bad. I am in Firefox, and it looks like the tabs I have open for this reply and for browsing another thread had the "spinning blue donut" for about 3-4 minutes. After that, they disappeared. Let me know if there's some other data I can provide.
