Uh oh, must be typo in the second link... It's a porn site. ;-) Anyway, I  
can't reproduce your problem here with Firefox, which it loads very fast.  
I bet your problem is has to do with the plugins. Delete all plugins and  
see what happened. I have the feel that it's more issue with that linux  
wrap plugin if you are using.
