Oddly enough, for me at home on not-too-fast DSL it's ~10sec, but at work in a building with super-speed-grade lines it's 30+ seconds and often unusable. I can't figure out what topology or other is going on there (other sites aren't noticeably slower from work e.g. due to filtering software at the firewall or anything) so it's a real puzzle. -G.
