I myself have noticed that over the past few months, my searches here at this forum have noticeably slowed down. I tested the internet bandwidth of my pentium III computer using three different bandwidth test sites. These tests reported that data is passing through my cable modem between 2.4 and 2.8 Mbps. So I think I can rule out my Internet Service Provider connection as the problem.

Here I am in Canada, using a brand new laptop computer (P4 @ 2.6GHz) hooked up to a DSL line connected to a different ISP. Online bandwidth tests indicate a speed of 2.0Mbs. And yet I'm still experiencing the slow search I get at home in the USA. So how can you blame location?

I had a problem for a few hours early this week. It was so slow that when going from one page to another it timed out several times. I ended up switching off and visiting again later in the day. Every thing was ok then.

I should have mentioned this before. But the searches that are slow for me are when I use the wildcard "*" character as a keyword.

Slow is also a matter of perception and what you are use to. I'm used to things taking a little time to load. 5 to 10 secs for a page sometimes. I think those people with broadband are used to quick service so when the net becomes slow on a certain route the delay is lot more noticable. Also, when you are using the search, then that is limited by the processing power of the server, which may have other demands on it. So even if your connection is fast and your route good, search could still be slow.
