Hi,

I'm not an admin on this site but I'll answer anyway (especially as you're in the UK, the same environment as me).

We all know that if you log in that you get no ads so it will be quicker. However, without logging in performance should still be acceptable.

I think you need to investigate and look for a common problem amongst your systems.

Does it make a difference if you switch off your AV? Which AV do you use?

I had a major performance issue sometime ago which turned out to be caused by end point protection software (IBM Trusteer Rapport) recommended by my bank for online banking. I had not updated the package for some considerable time and I found that switching it off made one hell of a difference. I contacted Rapport support and they sent me a link and told me to install from there. That fixed it.

Also, what about any anti-spyware you use? Try it with that switched off too.

For whatever reason (search Google for this one) I've had Chrome slug my machine even though I don't use it much. Uninstalling that fixed a load of issues.

Do you have any software running on your web gateway/router that would affect all your machines?

My money is on that perhaps you have some protection software running which, when video ads are downloading, asks "what the hell is that?" and uses all your CPU cycles to try and find out.
