javascript causing delays?

[jefferis]

Hi folks, I moved to Texas and our host is in Pittsburgh. Ever since my move, our pages have taken FOREVER to load for me. I admit I'm on a much slower Internet now at 1.5MBPS, but other sites don't do that. Doing a trace route I'm seeing a timeout in dallas, but i think the problem is in part that some javascripts are waiting for a response from my browser and are getting caught in the timeout so that the page does not finish loading.
But I don't know what scripts are vB native that I can't control and which ones I could force to load at the bottom of the page if that would help.
If anyone has any discernment, it would help me greatly.

What is odd is that if I stop the page from loading after a minute, then hit refresh, the images show up. I did a video: http://screencast.com/t/91YJL38RLD After it starts, jump to 1:03 minutes to watch this behavior

TIA
