Slow - Why is this forum so slow?

[Deena]

I'm currently browsing a few of the other forums related to my hobbies and this forums is winning the slowest of the year award.

Many of the discussions and pages load only at a considerate delay. Posting a reply make a page hang forever, unless I double click on submit the reply, and then it shows that I've edited the post even if the change was done 10-20 seconds ago.

What's up with all the lag here? It's clearly not an issue on the user end because I am a member of several other discussion boards and they don't seem to have this lag issue.
