Chipboard loads VERY slow... sad

Since the Chipboard moved to the new server, at least 2 of us chippers (Ricky Pushkin and I) are experiencing VERY slow load times. When I enter the URL to go to the Chipboard, it takes just under a minute to load (seems like forever though) and my computer temporarily freezes in the process. Once there, I can navigate and read threads quickly, but when I post, same thing happens (very slow and computer freezes in the process).

Anyone else out there experiencing the same?

Some notes:

  • This is only occurring with the Chipboard and the ccgtcc site - ALL other sites load very fast
  • Both Ricky and I have Comcast as our internet provider
  • I have a second computer using the same router. That computer does NOT experience the same problem (i.e. the chipboard loads instantly). That rules out Comcast and it rules out a router problem
  • The second computer uses Internet Explorer version 6, the slow one is at IE Version 7. So, I down grade to IE 6 with hopes of resolution (no luck)
  • Sure looks like a problem with my computer (that Ricky also has). I will continue to look for differences between the second computer and this one.
  • I tried a variety of other things including deleting cookies, ipconfig /flushdns, ... to no avail
  • I found a google hit with amazingly similar symptoms. The guy found no resolution, but did say the problem went away after a while. He concluded it was a problem with his internet provider. Does not appear to be the case for me.

Anyone out there have any suggestions to try???
