I've noticed intermittent slow downs also; like mentioned above the header appears but pages initially load slower.

I'm wondering if this has anything to do with IE 7? I bit the bullet and loaded IE 7 around the same time the new site design was rolled out.

Hmmm...

There weren't any changes to the structure of the forums that would have caused this. Its using exactly the same functionality as before except we have a new style to display the sub-forums.

Based on the traceroute information our hosting provider did find a potential routing problem that was slowing page load. There was also a bottleneck in Level 3 routing that was causing some delays. These issues should be resolved now. There are also a couple of other small things I'm investigating that could effect the page load but I haven't found anything definitive yet.
