...or has Google become slower than snailpoop since about the last week or so?

Just you, as far as I know.

I'm not very fond of some of their changes in recent months... the fade in intro, news & image search changes.. but the speed seems fine.

Images are now ungodly slow. I just won't even use Google anymore for image searches. But it's the only site with problems so I don't see how it's me. Every other site loads quickly. Google often takes 10-20 seconds just to load the intro screen, forget actually trying to do a search.

Can you provide an example or URL?

Any image search.

Have you tried Google's DNS for giggles?

Any image search.

Then I don't see what you're talking about.

For example, a search from here (http://www.google.com/imghp?hl=en&tab=wi) on Uncle Ruckus gives me 100s of images in about 1-3 seconds. Same thing if I do an image search on "uncle sam wants you". Hundreds of images in less than 5 seconds.

I know it doesn't help, but I can't see any problem. I'm on Verizon FiOS, if that means anything.

Oh, I forgot..... running FF 3.6.6 on Mandriva Linux, BTW.
