I recently installed AdBlock Plus and haven't seen any downside so far. It couldn't possibly be more sluggish than having all of the ads. I don't mind some ads and realize that it's the way to keep sites free to the posters. Entrepreneurs need to make a living too. There has to be a limit I would think. When they make surfing a not so nice experience, perhaps they've gotten out of hand. With AdBlock Plus you can add back in the ones that are of interest to you or the less space consuming ones.
