Still very long load times. For those who are reporting shorter times, make sure it is your first time after opening the browser as things are stored in cache that make subsequent attempts take much less time.
I can't think why a slower server would make things slower to display in the U.S. as opposed to the RSA.
I think it much more likely that the designer got fancy and is doing lots of things before finishing the display of the page. I've seen this over and over again in web design. It's really hard to keep these guys in check. Simple is better when it means faster.
