I live in the states, not sure if that matters. Since day one of my account creation, my loading times are horrible the worst I've ever experienced. From the moment I click the forum on my google bar it can be up to or more than a minute before the page opens. Then... any sub category I try to go into its a minute or so and then each thread it really is horrible.
That definitely is not normal for me. Usually, for me loading the main Forums list takes 5-10 seconds, whereas refreshing the Active Threads feed or clicking through into a thread or editing a post takes 2-5 seconds I'd guess. So not super speedy, but personally I'd be okay if it was like that reliably.
Unfortunately it isn't, and lately has been particularly bad, hence starting this thread a couple of weeks back. It seemed okay for a little while, but as you can see from scrolling back there have still been a number of instances when things have ground to a halt.
Yesterday was particularly awful, and the timings you give are probably what I was experiencing then, at least when it didn't timeout completely which it frequently did. For me this morning it seems a little better, at least not timing out but still taking longer than normal. At least it was, now that I'm focusing on it and decided to actually time how long pages are taking it's loading practically instantaneously. I know that's not going to last, though!
