adbight text ads are killing your site

Hi w3ace.

I agree that performance isn't where it should be. Some of the delay is due to the ads, and a lot of it is coming from other elements that we're dropping from our pages in the next release.

The ads you see on most of our sites com from Martini Media, and in our tests they're actually pretty fast. Of course we would prefer to have no ads on the sites but it's difficult to stay in business without them. We run about 100 different sites, and the userbase on all sites combined is significant enough for advertising to make sense at this point.

We certainly hear your feedback on performance loud and clear. We've spent the past few weeks launching sites with partner companies (watch this space for more on that) and as soon as we launch those our #1 priority is rolling out a new design with significant performance improvements across all of our sites.
