Have you been to http://www.asp.net lately? I have no idea why, but it’s slowing my browser to a crawl for a period of 5-10 seconds just after the DOM renders. I’ve tried across several machines, and it’s really annoying, especially since it happens on every page load instead of just once. I think it’s the Silverlight check that’s causing the issues. Regardless of the issue, if you’re going to make a site to evangelize a product you created (and that’s written on the platform that your site is promoting), it probably shouldn’t suck.
