Is there a reason for this lag? Maybe its just me but its taking a while for things to load  :'(

You might try clearing your browsers cache.    

ive tried that, maybe its my area..same lag on a t1 at work

No lag here with high speed internet connection.

If the local area is inundated with users then I have a lag.

The lag is for all web based sites and not just this one.

it is just this site for me bummer

Pages here started loading faster a few months ago after the site was down and work was done on the server. However, it continues to be slower for me than many of the other sites I visit.

Guys Glenn is currently working on something big for us. This is probably what is causeing the slight lag. He makes changes this time of year while the site is at it's slowest.

He made the last change because he had to. This change is because he wants to.
