I'm running Pop-up Stopper (free edition) and AVG free anti-virus. Disabling popup stopper doesn't seem to have any effect, but since the problem is very interrmittent, I'll have to play around for a week or so to experiment with this. As it is, response has not been that bad since I posted this issue, go figure!
If it helps, here is another forum that is really bad in the same way, for me

Attention to this is much appreciated.
Edit: OK, I logged completely off the internet, and went back to the site main page, then to here. I notice that sometimes the screen will refresh quickly, at the same time, the 'transferring data from
www.mercedesworld.com' displays, then the 'Waiting for pagead2 googlesyndication.com' message is at the bottom of the screen and the hourglass is displayed, even though I'm at where I should be. If I watch this message, it sits there for about a minute, then there is a message about 'google analytics', then finally 'done' and we're ready to repeat the cycle. Sorry I don't have the software to freeze the progression of these messages, but that's about what I'm experiencing. At times, the screen refreshs while these 'background tasks' are working, other times it pauses before refreshing, and that is when I notice this.
