OT: But has anyone else noticed a significant slow down in reloading longer threads that have tweets embedded in them? My system just sits and spins sometimes waiting for a minute or three for responses from twitter.com (according to the status bar at least). I’m just curious if anyone else has such a slowdown or if it’s simply my 10 year old Dell showing it’s age. If the latter, I just need to learn to live with as it’s going to be a long while before I can upgrade.

Xubuntu 12.04/Chromium Version 22.0.1201.0 Ubuntu 12.04 (145644) though the system itself is an old Dell C640 1.8ghz P4M w/ 2 gb ram.
