Does anybody have any performance issues with the Metalink web site?
Metalink is consistently the slowest web site that I use.  I have been using
it for years and nothing can compare.  Oracle claims that they have made
some improvements and that my complaints against Metalink stem from our side
of the connection.  Does anybody have any ideas on:
1. What might be wrong?
2. How I could remedy the problem?
I experience the problem with IE v5.00, IE v5.5 and Netscape v4.5.

thank you
