The browser you use could be a big part of the problem. I switched from Firefox to Google Chrome about 2 years ago at a very fortunate time.

My Firefox kept getting hangups and freezes, especially on this site, so I switched to Chrome. About a month later my laptop hard drive crashed, I'm thinking, I just lost over a 1,000 bookmarks. I purchaed a new computer and the first day I spent working on getting passwords and ID's and website addresses to important sites. Chrome was asking me to login, so I did and all my bookmarks came back, they were stored online.

Then I noticed a couple of months ago that my chrome started getting hangups and busy prompts on this site. At the bottom of my page was a message from HP. When I clicked on it, the note was that HP had an update for Chrome users. I installed the update and this site no longer has any problems, in fact my whole web surfing has about doubled in speed. If you use Chrome and have an HP computer, check for the update.
