I've noticed some sloth over the past few days. I'm using google.co.uk.
Search results can take a while to appear at times. More common is that when I click on one of the links (which of course are always of the form www.google.co.uk?blahblahblahblah...) it spends a while waiting for google before following the link.
Is it possible to build a search engine that is faster, more efficient compared to current Google search engine and has almost zero lag time ? It's been a huge problem for me recently, as you mentioned, when i click on links, very often the screen just freezes up for a few seconds or the search result doesn't appear at all ... I don't recall this happening in the past ...
