SOLUTION!!
Thanks to HariSeldon, we have a solution! The fix is to have the diaries set to "NO RATE". The rate buttons on 200+ comments is what creates the transfer lag.
Peeder also has another solution. It seems Firefox is one of the slowest browsers around. I tried downloading the Opera browser as Peeder suggested and it is much much faster. Thanks for the tips!!
Perhaps Markos should make a note of this on the front page.

ORIGINAL DIARY:
I've got one big pet peeve about DKos lately.
It's not the ugly ads in the middle site design that I'm talking about. It has to do with the functionality.
Why do diaries always bog down to a snail' pace after 200+ comments? Am I the only one experiencing this?
It really is frustrating! You want to read the comments of an excellent diary, but when you click on the link, it takes as long as a democrat takes to decide to fight back against the latest neocon smear.
Seriously. I hesitate to open diaries that have more than 200 comments now.
When is this serious flaw going to be fixed?!
And, oh, yeah. Recommend this diary if you feel this is a problem. Maybe Markos will take note.
