What browser are you using? A couple of people have mentioned it so I am just trying to find out a pattern.

I find it all a bit slow as well Nick. I'm on IE9. Never had a preoblem before. It loads pages eventually, but as OP says, it can take up to 30 odd seconds for each page. (and as for clearing cookies, yep, I cleared them all, especially the chocolate chip ones! Mmmm!)

Hold down the Windows key + R and type cmd into that box and hit OK.

Then in the black box that pops up type "ipconfig /flushdns" without the quotes then try it again, usually helps with that sort of problem in IE!

I find it locking up at work - OK tonight - I put it down to a beefed up security system we have recently installed after an attempted cyber attack.
I tried it on Firefox because we are on an antiquated IE, but still locked up - task manager says it is running, but nothing happens.

Still OK tonight.

Loaded Google Chrome today on Windows XP and now SBT is genuinely about 6 times faster - absolutely superb !!!

When the server changed this problem was apparant with Explorer - it was fine in Google Chrome and Safari. The problem seems to have corrected itself on Explorer now as well.
