Did some investigation into the slow form by peeking at the source code. This is actually using a jquery plugin called cleditor http://premiumsoftware.net/cleditor/ that gives you the fancy font styling, and emoticons and so on. It relies heavily on javascript which runs on your local computer, not the web server. So, if you have a slower computer with a bunch of other tasks running, your computer may not be able to keep up - while at the exact same time another user may have no issues with it. What you can do is disable javascript, which will show the unstyled - old school form without the bells and whistles, and your post should go in lightning fast. (I'm writing this w/no JS enabled) Generally speaking, javascript is useful though - so you may want to only disable for this site if you find it frequent and annoying. But before doing that, perhaps fire up task manager or activity monitor to see if you have something else on your system slowing your computer down in the background. Most likely your computer is fighting for resources and it can't get to all the things you're asking it to do fast enough.
