BTW, what text shows in your browser's status window while the delay is
occurring?  Does it say "contacting news.lugnet.com" or "contacting
ww.guarded-inn.com"?

I'm no fan of jump.cgi for my own reasons (just because it considers itself
it's own link- so it always looks unfollowed, even if the page you'll end up at
by following it is one you've been to before, until you follow the jump.cgi
link).  But I have to say that I've never experienced a slowdown while using it
that is attributable to the cgi script itself.

My suspicion, after several years workin' in the data mines, is that the test
links the user set up are faster because there is no DNS lookup associated with
going from one page on www.guarded-inn.com to another.
