Czuch: Is it only certain pages that take that long? I know I mentioned this on another board a while ago, but I don't remember where now.

Try and notice if it is JUST Brainking pages where there is a text box on the page. If so, clicking on "Change smileys" above the text box, and then EMPTYING out all the smileys (so that when you click or hover over the smile next to "Message:", NOTHING shows up in the box) worked to speed things back to normal for me. (You MUST remember to click "Activate user smilies")

After Fencer added one of the latest batches of smilies, suddenly any pages where there was a text box, went from taking 3 seconds, to more than 15 seconds! It was very frustrating. (And at the time, puzzling, because other Brainking pages were loading as quickly as ever.) After I changed this everything was fine for me.

Of course, if you are talking about ALL Brainking pages, then what I suggest will not help.
