Rather poor performance on going to the front page, http://kottke.org/ http://kottke.org/ The initial viewport comes up fast, but it takes over 10 seconds to finish loading and be able to scroll. Wonder what is causing that?
Maybe hanging while it is filling in the Facebook and Twitter buttons on each post?

If you load the page while running Chrome's developer tools open to the network tab, you can see the wild variety of hosts being touched. Many of these will involve separate DNS lookups and TCP/IP connection overhead. I've always viewed it as a consequence of his format, and well worth the wait.
