Re: slow or is it me
Its to do with a couple of things, firstly if you use Internet Explorer it waits till its downloaded everything before it displays it. if any parts of teh page are slow( a small graphic etc) it slows teh whole thing down.

You can try Opera or Firefox as they tend to paint teh screen as stuff is downloaded so you 'see' things quicker.

Also I believe teh blue themem isn't as ' fancy' in how its made up hence its quicker to download/draw.
