I'm glad you raised this point and I logged on today intending to post something similar. This remains an issue. I am averaging over 1 minute from click to page load. It was worse last night--I logged on with a friend because I wanted to share a reference to a great post from the past that explained something very well. Unfortunately, we had to give up because we couldn't get the home page to load.

Although I don't post much anymore, this site is important to me. If there is some way to contribute with time or resources to helping keep this great resource available, I'd like to help.
