I find that sites utilizing Shopify are really slow too.        But that's not because of ads, it's because of the extra fluff        in the html code and the images that are not scaled for        efficiency.              Even some of the newspaper sites are constantly busy serving up        new ads in the same spots while seeming sitting idle to read a        page. My AdBlockerUltimate reports 52 ads before the main page        even gets to finish at Rollingstone.com              I don't think the DNS is an issue. It resolves very quick for        most other inoccuous sites.              --        ../|ug              --- OpenXP 5.0.48        * Origin: (2:221/1.58)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 90/1 103/705 105/81 120/340 123/131 124/5016 129/305       SEEN-BY: 154/10 203/0 221/1 6 360 226/30 227/114 702 229/101 424 426       SEEN-BY: 229/452 550 664 1016 1017 240/5138 5411 5824 5832 5853 249/206       SEEN-BY: 249/317 400 280/464 5003 288/100 292/854 8125 310/31 317/3       SEEN-BY: 320/219 322/757 342/200 396/45 423/81 120 712/848 770/1 2432/390       SEEN-BY: 2452/250 2454/119       PATH: 221/1 280/464 240/5832 229/426           |
