5. Several times a day.

Some times refresh (F5) helps and some times it doesn't. Time of day
(as in traffic conditions) does not seem to have a bearing either. It
doesn't matter if I'm opening an OP, creating one, changing from one
group to another or any other special cicrcumstances. Some times I
get a delay even when I'm just scrolling in a thread. I never posted
anything about it in ATA because I have seen others that brought it
up, but now I wonder how many others have not said anything and
how widespread the problem may be.
