For something to be done about that, I need to figure out what is causing this problem, and to do that, I first need to replicate it. But I have not had his problem. Pages normally load instantaneously for me. If you want anything to be done about a problem I have never had, you first need to explain to me in detail where and how you experience this problem.

Well I did mention it several times already. It might depend on the time of day, because It doesn't happen always, but it does happen regularly, and when it happens it keeps happening for a period of hours.

And I can make a pretty good guess as to what causes the problem, as while I am staring at a blank screen, waiting for a page to load, FireFox prints in the staus bar "Waiting for adn.ebay.com...". And in the the page source of every page here I see near the top

ebay code deleted

whech references this URL. So what happens is that the ebay.com server during some hours of the day is excruciatingly slow to respond, and that display of any part of the page is apparently dependent of the GET request being fully serviced.
