Oh, I've definitely noticed the same thing! Sometimes I click on a new thread, and then sit here drumming my fingers on the table as I wait patiently for it to load. Is that a sign of success (HairLossTalk.com getting so large and popular that it's starting to tax the ability of the server to keep up with the demand), or is it a technical problem of some sort with the hardware or software? Interestingly, a while back on HLH, Farrel seemed to be having a similar problem; he made some changes in the hardware (or whatever) that really seemed to help speed things up.
