Well for me the marketplace is very, very fast. It's the rest of the site that is slow. I wasn't sure if it was my browser or a setting I used because I also don't see the advertising banners at the top of the page either. I thought maybe I disabled them and that's what made it slower but I have no idea how to go about that in the first place. Can anyone else see the banners? I sure wish they'd at least let us know :(
