What is wrong with MSN?
« on: October 08, 2007, 05:48:46 PM »
Using Ibrowse 2.4 on my miggy  with spoofing enabled (MS IE7),
check out the average load times for these common websites:

google          <2 seconds
monster         <4 seconds
ebay            <3 seconds
craigslist      ~1 second
yahoo           <2 seconds
a.org           <2 seconds
gmail login     ~2 seconds
yahoo login     ~2 seconds
hushmail        ~6 seconds
amibench        <2 seconds
slashdot        ~4 seconds
fidelity        <4 seconds
msn          >300 seconds!
hotmail  Don't even bother..

Why is this?  Is it Big Brother Bill running
some enormous .js program and checking out your hardware
to make sure you're not using anything subversive...
like an Amiga?  :)   Most other websites work fine. Just
msn is hosed.  Except when I switch over to my PC..  Then MSN
runs fine.  Hmm?
