Is that why the throbber top left on Chrome is acting like the Eveready Bunny? Just keeps going and going and going......sometimes taking as long as twenty minutes to load.

business as usual, the site is slow. it has been slow since quite a few years. according to alexa.com:
Very Slow (5.323 Seconds), 94% of sites are faster.
