The random slowness is most likely caused by the different types of ads loading, some are big and are animated, some are small and are non-animated. Although i have not noticed a problem with the speed that this page loads, the slowness you all describe is most likely what i said. And then sometimes if there is a corrupted ad, because web browsers load ads first (i think), it could cause the entire page to not load. <-- Computer geek talking lol!
