I blame a lot on Javascipt libraries like Ajax where lazy webmasters include them to use 1% of what they stick in the page. But yes, every page requires 50 or so DNS lookups. And web pages have gotten to be 3 megabytes and over. And web servers have timeouts so lots of times I see them time out before the pages load, I have to hit reload 5-10 times fairly often. The OpenBSD site is fast, stupid sites like Facebook I avoid. -- Credit is the root of all evil. - AB1JX
