Comment 59 for bug 81858

I had this same issue perhaps a week or two ago. The home page would load the top banner and then just freeze trying to load something. In the end I realized it was being caused by one of the ads or something so I installed Adblock Plus. Problem gone.

Course, there could be 100 different issues in this bug report - digg.com threads are slow as ass, especially when there are many comments. Hope this helps.
