Has anyone else noticed the bog down of the site by Site Meter?
If you watch the status line in your browser you'll see it connecting to sm8.sitemeter.com. Sometimes this connection takes 10 times as long (or even longer) as the actual page load from dK.
This has been happening for quite a while and I know enough to kill the sitemeter connection when I see it. It seems that as the site gets busier it's a bigger and bigger problem.
