Why is this Site so Slow to Load?

It's a popular local ebay-type auction site, but as the months go by
it's getting slower to load... 53sec. Hogs the computer all the while.

Any thoughts?

Loads in about 4 seconds here on broadband - there are a lot of 
images, which would probably be very slow to download on  dial-up 
connection, though.

Mine loads in 4.3 if I've already looked at the site and issued a refresh.

Broadband speed to my RiscPC is 2.3Mb/s according to sod.ms/fast but its
really up at just over 7Mb/s on the XP machine next to it.

This may be due to a known problem with cookies. Please try:

1. Quit NetSurf
2. Rename or move away your Cookies file at Choices:WWW.NetSurf.Cookies
3. Run NetSurf and test http://www.trademe.co.nz again

If the page loads for more quickly now, the slow down is due to a cookies
issue.

Remember to quit NetSurf before restoring your old Cookies file.

If the slowdown was caused by cookies, you should be able to speed up
loading of the page by opening the cookies manager (Iconbar menu > Open >
Show cookies...) and deleting some some of the cookies for the domain in
question.

Best regards,

Brilliant. It's now 5sec or so.
I deleted a few cookies, amazed that there were so many.

Thanks a lot.
