.Thanks for everyone's input. There are so many variables involved as you all stated, device CPU speed, modem speed, server speed, software of your device, and how many folks are using the Internet at that time. From some of the input, it appears I'm not the only one to notice this. I did try a different browser (Dolphin) and the speed is acceptable so who knows, maybe something else changed too but regardless of what happened out there in the world of the Internet, it doesn't appear to be a problem for this user. Hope the others who were seeing slow response times can get it resolved.
