10 seconds is not that slow for the web to be honest... But, any time I've tested the site on broadband from various locations (different friends cable/DSL, and my own dial up account on 56K) it never takes me over 5 seconds to load a page (except for the occasional hang on the ad loads I mentioned) and only about 20 seconds or so (depending on the page) for dial up. Now it's taking me 2 or 3 seconds to load a page (broadband) and only about 10 to 15 seconds on 56K.

The actual reason for this posting was that over the past six months we've been building a full scale, corporate level web farm for the company (MTI, parent company to MW). There will be some minor additions over the next couple months, but for all intense purposes the whole system is now fully operational. There is some significant server power running everything now. And of course, MW is hosted on it.
