PH takes ages to load....

...both forum groups and pages, and browser keeps crashing.
Could be that ads won´t load as the spaces where they usually are remain empty.
Win7 and WindowsLive used here in Germany.

Definitely some "Top Banner" ads do this to me in some sub-fora.

Yesterday night it was either "The Lounge" or the "Snob" thread in there,

also the "Website Feedback" section.

When I select other sub-fora or threads, it only taks my browser 1-2 seconds to load the page,

the little blue "P" icon appears in the header (?) and everything is fine.

On the defect pages, the "loading circle" rotates for two minutes then the browser crashes.

I'm getting this as well. If I check Task Manager, the CPU jumps from about 7% to over 30% usage. Using Windows 8 and an I5 processor.
