Site does seem zippier, except for the Ad loading. I just killed a couple of page loads while it was "Transferring data from ads.addynamix.com" (I gave one of them 30 seconds to load before killing it). Using FF web browser and these are the only sites I seem to have this problem with (Forum and Auction).
Maybe our wishing for a faster site made it (seem) so.
Maybe it was the time of night when we were using it. I guess we have something even better to look forward to ...
