BBC:
Ads are responsible for making webpages slow to a crawl, suggests analysis of the most popular one million websites.
The research by developer Patrick Hulce looked at which chunks of code take longest to load.
About 60% of the total loading time of a page was caused by scripts that place adverts or analyse what users do, he found.
Not news for most Soylentils, but in case anyone needs to cite the performance hit (to convince PHBs)...

I know this is off topic and a bit antisocial, but when I see your posted email address, I want to register the domain SPAMsoylentnews.org and setup a mail server just to forward all the email addressed to the user takyonNO to you. It's not just you, it's the same for any other users using NO@SPAM in their email addresses. It makes me feel like I'm letting the messages complete their journey, and then I realize that it's only spam and I would be trolling. Besides, April 1st is still several weeks out.
