          Hey, Carbon...
          I can't use FasterFox to see page loading time, because it's not compatible with FF3, so, if you're using FasterFox, just to see load time, you may consider switching to Extended Statusbar: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1433 (A Statusbar with Speed, Percentage, Time and loaded size (like in Opera) )

            Thanks for all the additional feedback has been added to first post. Also some of the slowness today could be my generation of a search index. We'll see if that speeds anything up if it ever finishes. Goes real slow to help prevent the boards from getting overwhelmed.
