Here is a new tracert from mine. It still seems like some pages take a real long time to load while others are fine. like others have said sometimes a white page comes up and you have to refresh it then it comes up fine.

NLOC Forum is my home page, so I'm on it all day. I routinely read the Gen 1 postings and Classifieds.
Since the change, it went to real slow, to "better", probably good enough to put up with, but a pain in the butt from time to time.
One of the new things is navigating through NLOC pages often results in a "jerky" delay waiting for a page to load. Time required is not the same, varies.
One thing that may be part of this "jerky" behavior is: I noticed this morning while waiting for a page to load, in the progress bar on the bottom of my browser page showing what location is being loaded and the status, it said; Connecting to page2, googlesyndication.com. Then it went to NLOC and the page appeared.
So my question is part of our slowness and jerky experience due to some link setup with google? If so is it NLOC or done by my browser Firefox? Is there anything to be done that could fix this?
Also see what 383SVT said below as my experience is similar to his too.
