Right now I'm at home, DSL, 3.0 Mb down and 1.5 Mb up speed, it takes me an average of 2 seconds for threads to pop up in their entirety... I use Firefox web browser with the broadband speed tweak. If any of you guys out there use firefox, you should do the speed tweak:

This only applies to BROADBAND internet users:

[blockquote] Here’s something for broadband people that will really speed Firefox up: 1.Type “about:config” into the address bar and hit return. Scroll down and look for the following entries: network.http.pipelining network.http.proxy.pipelining network.http.pipelining.maxrequests Normally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time. When you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really speeds up page loading. 2. Alter the entries as follows: Set “network.http.pipelining” to “true” Set “network.http.proxy.pipelining” to “true” Set “network.http.pipelining.maxrequests” to some number like 30. This means it will make 30 requests at once. 3. Lastly right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it “nglayout.initialpaint.delay” and set its value to “0″. This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it receives. If you’re using a broadband connection you’ll load pages MUCH faster now!

Again, I've never had a problem with this website, and I'm on here quite ofter from various locations across the country... I don't believe the problem you are seeing is on their end, otherwise I would have to be seeing some of the slow speeds you guys are complaining about...
