If there is a delay when you are loading up a page, that is one thing. It could be the connection speed -- especially if you are using dial up. It could also be the amount of RAM (memory) that your computer has. It could also be that the server of this website is acting slow.
If there is a delay in displaying the letters that you have typed, that is entirely a different thing! It has absolutely nothing to do with the website, or the connection speed. It has everything to do with the computer you are using. It could be a slow processor(but probably not this), or that the memory is full or almost full. This means you need to add more RAM. If you only have 64 MB of RAM then you should EXPECT everything to be very slow. For me I'd say the minimum for good internet viewing should be 128 MB of RAM. Now, if you have lots of programs open at once, each will take up some of your memory. This will slow your computer down because it has to move things back and forth from memory and your hard drive, which takes lots of time. If you close some of your other programs down, it will free up some memory and may help the situation.
