Numerous users are experiencing lag issues because of the javascript used by the ads. NoScript should not be a requirement to view this website, I ask that you remove them.
Hmm. I've looked around and haven't found any other sites with issues. Possibly it could be a specific ad. Are you guys running computers from the 90s possibly?
That's strange, because the ads do not slow me down at all. In fact I even click on them once in awhile and go a few links deep just to try and generate a bit of revenue here and Totse is still navigating super-fast. Every page and post loads in less than a second on my machine, and all I'm running is WinXP Corp with Pentium4, 1gig RAM and updated Firefox. For about the past month it's been this way for me without fail... super fast page loads every time.
I'm quite positive they are filtering the ads in some way, either through security software, a firewall or some other third-party application, or perhaps their ISP is filtering the advertising URLS on the backend feed, allowing it, but taking time to process each one every time. It's gotta be some kind of filtering process going on there.
Yeah, same speed for me ads or no ads. I have noticed (not recently, but it is still happening) that there is a jump when the page loads. It seems like its the server holding the request for the page so it loads in one rather than sending it a bit at a time.

No problems from me. I don't know what everyone is bitching about. Maybe if they upgrade from Net-Fucking-Zero they won't have a problem.
This. People need to get jobs and buy a newer computer too. I don't understand why people refuse to upgrade a tool they use all the time. Check www.slickdeals.net. There you go, you can upgrade for $350.
It hangs for me for a second or two at the point in the screencap below. Its like the 'front end' loads right away but the content takes a few seconds.
Could be the server being slow in pulling the content?
I honestly don't feel any difference nor I had any issues before but since I didn't touch the website code nor the forum settings I just narrowed the variable down to the ADs . But still that message was a bit lulzy.
Somehow it found out what I had for breakfast yesterday. I was just a little nonplussed, actually. The nerve of these people! Well, they'll NEVER find out what kind of toilet paper I use. Nevar!
Never noticed any slowdown at all when viewing ads. Totse is fast as fuck, but I still think we should ultra-fine tune it so it's even faster I wonder if that's possible...
The issue is with the javascript code that the ads were using. It hangs as dr rocker said. I can say pretty definitively that it was the code because the issue went away as soon as I blocked it. This is on a pretty decent laptop and Verizon Fios.
Plus ads suck. But that is in all entirety besides the point.
OK so here's something interesting - when running Google Chrome, the site loads just fine. However, when I'm running in Firefox there is a considerable amount of lag happening.
I see the message for QKSZ.net in the bottom left of FF when the page is loading slow - I think thats the site the adds come from, so it could be their servers are under heavy load.

Ads are now not Javascript based. Any better?
