I'm running a skyscraper ad in the right column, position 2, Custom Island.

The script is simple:

<!-- BEGIN TAG - 160x600 - 24hourcampfire.com - DO NOT MODIFY -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://optimizedby.rmxads.com/st?ad_type=ad&ad_size=160x600&section=199325"></script>
<!-- END TAG -->

and when I run it outside my forum, it loads super fast. Likewise, MY server is super fast, and my forum loads right now.

But when I put that script in the right column, I see a definite slowdown, and some guys are reporting very slow generation times.

It doesn't seem to matter whether I run that script as part of an OpenAds campaign (my preference!) or if I just run it straight in the island ... things bog down.

Any ideas? I just signed a one-year advertising contract with these guys, and slow-loading pages are BAD NEWS!!
