Didn't have a problem with it loading slower; I have DSL, which we acquired two months ago after years of cable and no discernable difference. I had noticed that sometimes saying something in the shoutbox took a while to get there.
It's a nice little feature-I don't chat any more-but if it's a thing of the past, then that's ok too for me, not for those that can't get chat at work. (then again, shouldn't y'all be working?
)
