If things seem much slower than usual, it's probably just some roadwork in your local section of the information superhighway ...
However, this thing ain't the most efficiently designed web forum I've used ... ;-)
I get in over a T1 ('broadband') line at work and the page load speed is acceptable then (though the constant drilling down through layers then going back out to the beginning to find the next forum with new posts gest really old really fast ...). I tried it from home using a 56k (real-world 50-52k ...) dial-up connection, and it's not even usable.
Triming off a bunch of the graphics would help, but streamlining the 'new post' flow would be a HUGE improvement. For an example of a much cleaner way to do this, see:

Having a column listing all your unread threads on one side makes it easy to move through all the new posts quickly ....
