I have noticed the speed problem being most pronounced on my home/office Mac system [no difference between OS9 or OSX] even with a high speed cable link. Runs about half the speed of similar PC/Windows computers I have used to access FT. Explorer is common to both Mac and PC systems, so not sure if it is a Mac issue or a browser issue, or a combination of the two.

Pages load slowly, and scroll bar is painfully slow to respond. This has not improved [other than really slow widespread periods] and seems to have started when the big overhaul was done to the site months ago.
