It's not just you. The site has been unbearably slow lately.
I don't know if it's strictly related, but I want to say that the big slowdowns corresponded to the introduction of the new page header. How big are those images? They don't seem to cache either.
I'm on the same computer I've always been on, a Toshiba tablet < 2 years old, and I don't notice this being a problem with any other sites.
Hoping the team can figure something out...
Thanks
