Orrymain, the problem is intermittently returning for me and I think you're correct. It's probably an ad or some sort of widget.

I don't have anything against site advertising - it's necessary. But off-site widgets and scripts that often cause problems or even computer lockups for slower connections are a major turnoff for site visitors.

Yep. I actually often get a message on my computer saying that a script is causing my computer to run slow and do I want to let it continue or stop it. It's annoying as heck, but I'm helpless to do anything about it.

It's the off-site ads & scripts. I blocked ALL the off-site ads and scripts on this site, using adblock plus and NO Script. The problem vanished.

Eureka, are those programs? Do you have the URLs to where they can be downloaded? I'd definitely be interested in those.

They are add-ons for the Firefox web browser.

Adblock Plus for Firefox. Get it here:

NoScript for Firefox. Blocks unwanted scripts. Get it here:

OH, it's been wonderful. Pages load so fast now. I knew it was causing me major problems on some pages, but I had no idea how much it was interfering with all pages. Now everything loads in a snap, and if I want the script, it's one easy click, either temporary or permanent. It's just wonderful!
