slow navigation

[dgfitz]

For the last few weeks this site has been very slow to load, and to page
thru the treads. I thought it was my computer, but a conversation I had yesterday with some like minded friends brought up the topic of this
forum, and everyone complained about the site loading very slowly, and
some said they do not even log in anymore because of it's slow nature.
This was six different individuals, not really a big example, but enough
for consideration, and cause for concern. Even as I logged in this morning
it was very slow, so something is amiss here on the local server or some-
where on the master server, I'm guessing.
