I also don't see a problem.  Our web host is about 1,000 miles from us, in the
state of Georgia.  The main page comes up for us within 2 seconds (default
filter), and individual messages come up instantly (we have cable access).  So
there is nothing I can do to speed it up from my end.

An alternative for you might be to download the archives, instead of trying to
read them online.  Another trick is to click on message links using a "right
click", and choosing "open in new window" so that you don't have to download the
main page after finishing each thread.  Also try running a trace route to see if
there is a problem on one of the hops between you and our server.
