It isn't just you. I notice the delay as well on every machine I use - fast
or slow, on every connection I use, fast or slow.
Last time I looked into this (and I think posted about it) it seemed fairly
obvious the biggest delays were had by IE users. I recall the delay being

Navigator or Mozilla or whatever its called this year just to read LUGNET posts.
I don't care if its IE's fault, or this script's fault, or anyone else's
fault - the delay is real and it is incredibly annoying. That's why,
whenever I remember, I always copy the shortcut, paste it into another
browser window, and strip off the jump.cgi crap. Even though that takes a
few seconds it is ALWAYS faster than if I just right-click and tell it to
open in a new window.
