Is there maybe some problem with prefetching? Have you tried turning off prefetching and seeing if that speeds things up?
I honestly don't know what that is, Joshua. I'm about as computer-challenged as they come. One thing I do know is that it started happening just about the time that the banner giving the number of donations starting appearing at the top. Who knows?

Quoting Ron Ritzman ritzman@gmail.com:
I usually read WP at home through a 28800pbs soda straw and here is my experience using Firefox 2...
Trying to load a WP page the first time the browser is started or after clearing the cache is dog slow. After that they load reasonable.
If during an initial "dog slow" load, the modem is disconnected, the page pops right up.
Someone on IRC said this might be because Firefox and most other browsers always wait for all CSS to load before rendering the page and it might be the codepages that are loading slower then the main text. Future loads are faster because the CSS is cached. Same person also claimed that this has been corrected in Gecko 1.9 but I noticed no difference when reading WP with a pre release of Firefox 3.
