host.pagead2.googlesyndicate.com and google-analytics.com
 

I am seeing these 2 urls causing delays for lots of sites I visit they slow down browsing and appear for cableforum as well as other sites, is this part of the sites code I visit (i dont see google ads or anything) or related to something running on my pc, I have had google toolbar installed and I suspect that.

Think analytics is a traffic analysis tool from Google
http://www.google.com/analytics/
sites use it to see where their traffic is coming from etc

add them to adblock, and bypass them

...or stick them in your hosts file with an IP addy of 127.0.0.1

interesting observation, in opera which I use for this site, nearly every url I load uses the above google ads server and slows down my requests.

If I browse same sites with IE it doesnt do it and of course as a result is much faster.

In FireFox the 'NoScript' extension sorts these out :)

ok here is one for you.

Suddenly these urls are no longer slowing down browsing so much and dont cause noticeable delays and at the same time I now see google ads where as before I didnt, so I guess it was timing out to the ad servers.
