I do see your searches are taking a very long time to execute. What I did was altered your dosearch script so it uses the 7.1 search routine. You should notice that it's much faster now. I did a search for 'test' within the past 2 years prior to the change and it took about 40 seconds. I did it after the change and it took about 2 seconds. So, this should help with the slowdowns and freezes.
Sorry about the complaints on the jumping. Since 7.1 is just about out, we won't be able to do anything for it in that version, however I do have this on my list of things to do for 7.2. One of your users has found a workaround for those that don't like it or understand it, where they just click on the 1st page of the post when there are multiple pages.
