We have implemented a new jQuery driven ad solution for the website that we hope will eliminate slow load times or pages hanging due to a bad ad.
Basically we are forcing all the ads to be loaded last so at the very least if they hang up or load slow you will still get the content.
Not sure if this solution is going to work but so far under limited strain it has increased the site's load time immensely. If you see anything not working properly please let me know in this thread so I can fix it.
