I've noticed recently that pages are slower to fully load. The page itself loads quickly, but with Chrome until every resource on the page is loaded Chrome doesn't jump to the anchor / latest post. This happens when you click on an email link or a latest post link from the recent posts screen.

For example in this thread the images in Mark's sig to fueely loaded quite slowly, so it took 6-8 seconds before the page loaded and I got to see the recent posts. When I test the server it's fast now, so maybe it was slow DNS resolution. It happens on many threads though, with many different servers. The connection I'm on is generally very fast with good latency, it's fiber.

Anyone else finding the same thing?

I know I can turn sigs off, but I generally like them. Should there be a guideline to avoid using external images in sigs?
